Sinossi

Education and Power explores the powerful, often unseen, relationship between educational systems and societal control. It argues that education is never neutral, serving either to reinforce existing power structures or to challenge them. The text delves into how education has been historically employed for both oppression and liberation, examining instances of cultural assimilation and political control through structured curricula. One intriguing insight reveals how educational policies have profoundly impacted social mobility across different eras and locations.

 
The book progresses by first laying a conceptual foundation, introducing key ideas from the sociology of education and the history of reform movements. It then uses case studies to illustrate how education has promoted specific ideologies, suppressed dissent, and maintained social order. For example, the book analyzes education in colonial contexts, demonstrating its role in nation-building. Such analyses provide readers with a deeper understanding of power dynamics and the potential for educational reform to foster social justice and equality.

 
By focusing on the long-term consequences of educational policies, Education and Power offers a unique perspective on the intricate connections between education, history, and politics. It will appeal to anyone interested in understanding how educational systems shape social change, policy development, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen explores how Republicans have abused power, how Democrats have refused to exercise power when they held it, and how progressives should wield power if they are fortunate enough to win a free and fair election in a post-Trump world. 
      
    This book is a wake-up call about the decades-long project that led to Trump’s America.

    "The Child and the Curriculum" is a book written by John Dewey, an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, and published in 1902. The book is a collection of essays and lectures that explore Dewey's ideas about the relationship between the child and the curriculum in education. 
    Dewey argues that education should focus on the child's experiences and interests, rather than on a predetermined curriculum that is disconnected from the child's life. He advocates for a child-centered approach to education that emphasizes active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. 
    According to Dewey, the curriculum should be flexible and adaptable to the needs and interests of each child, rather than a fixed set of subjects that all students must learn. He also emphasizes the importance of hands-on, experiential learning, and the integration of subjects across disciplines. 
    Overall, "The Child and the Curriculum" is a seminal work in the field of education that continues to influence educational theory and practice today. Dewey's ideas about child-centered education, active learning, and the integration of subjects continue to shape the way educators think about teaching and learning

    Americans are more familiar with his signature than with the man himself. In this spirited account of John Hancock's life, Brooke Barbier depicts a patriot of fascinating contradictions—a child of enormous privilege who would nevertheless become a voice of the common folk; a pillar of society uncomfortable with radicalism who yet was crucial to independence. 
     
     
     
    Orphaned young, Hancock was raised by his merchant uncle, whose business and vast wealth he inherited—including household slaves, whom Hancock later freed. By his early thirties, he was one of New England's most prominent politicians, earning a place on Britain's most-wanted list and the derisive nickname King Hancock. While he eventually joined the revolution against England, his ever moderate—and moderating—disposition would prove an asset after 1776. Barbier shows Hancock appealing to southerners and northerners, Federalists and Anti-Federalists. He was a famously steadying force as president of the fractious Second Continental Congress. As governor of Massachusetts, Hancock convinced its delegates to vote for the federal Constitution and calmed the fallout from the shocking Shays's Rebellion. An insightful study of leadership in the revolutionary era, King Hancock traces a moment when passion was on the side of compromise and accommodation proved the basis of profound social and political change.

    At universities, professors are increasingly being dismissed or demoted from high positions for allegedly disruptive behaviors. But when is a professor disruptive? In the media, you read about unpopular statements, false attitudes, bullying or abuse of power. But that is only part of the story. This book looks at the structures behind the cases and shows that the dismissals repeatedly affect certain groups of people. Instead of performance orientation, a 'right to certification' is gaining ground. Instead of academic freedom, there is increasing pressure to conduct research only in line with certain political ideologies. Based on their empirical surveys, Heike Egner and Anke Uhlenwinkel present worrying findings and remind us of the once seemingly unshakeable principles of free research and free teaching at our universities.
    
    Among other things, the authors have examined the questions of which groups of people were primarily affected by the dismissals, what accusations were made against them, what the respective course of proceedings was, and what role the media played. The findings unearthed in the process are disturbing, for the facts suggest that not only has there been a sharp increase in the number of professors who have been prematurely removed from university service against their will, but that qualitatively questionable developments have also been observed. Those affected seem to belong particularly often to certain sociological groups whose members are presumed to have been able to pursue a career in academia only through extraordinary personal effort and talent, to feel committed to the ethos of achievement, and to be particularly attached to the traditional, Humboldtian understanding of academia.
