| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1883 The goal of this course is to put modern theories and; practices of education into historical perspective by looking at some; of their early-modern French and European counterparts. We will focus; on how a cluster of its "subjects"—both things that are studied and; people who study them—developed into fixtures of modern education.; These educational subjects include inclusivity, civility, technology,; essays, literature, images, theater, and algorithms. We will read; early-modern authors such as Rabelais, Montaigne, Marie de Gournay,; Elisabeth de Bohème, Poullain de la Barre, Racine, and Rousseau. We; will also read selections from recent pedagogical theory in order to; see whether and how they reflect, reform, or reject early-modern; ideas.; Crosslisted: FREN and COML Humanities, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (Hav: HU, A) |
