- Writing 60
Themes Typically Taught:
- Education as the Practice of Freedom
Course Description:
- This course will investigate the meaning and practice of education. While institutional education will indeed play a big part in our inquiry, our priority is in articulating what education means and has meant to us. Our purpose is twofold: to understand what negative education looks like and how it works; and to understand what an education rooted in curiosity looks like and how it works. Finally, in placing so much emphasis on the individual experience and its effects, we can better position ourselves to make demands on the institutions that shape us.
