Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course aims to understand the historical gendering of knowledge and educational subjects.

Why do we value specific knowledge higher than others, and how do ideas about knowledge and the subjects of knowledge shape and gender institutional knowledge? In this course, we examine the history of philosophy of education in light of contemporary perspectives on how values, virtues, and desires are cultivated in educational contexts. We examine the gendering of knowledge and the historicity of values, virtues, and vices in education and elaborate on how to understand contemporary educational ideals.
