Eric Ferris

The (Dis)Order of U.S. Schooling

Zygmunt Bauman and Education for an Ambivalent World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book critically interrogates the function of schooling in the United States of America using the writings of sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and suggests that its aims, whether recognized or not, are not so much to educate students to be free thinkers, but rather to be orderly cogs in a particular functional social machine.
