- Summary:
- Martin (philosophy, U. of Massachusetts Boston) proposes a theory of education as an encounter that can take place at school, home, or anywhere and at all times. She outlines this theory, which combines the perspective of education from the view of the individual and culture, and illustrates that when education occurs it is both an instance of individual learning and cultural transmission and in the domain of the entire culture. She then discusses populations that have been excluded from education, including women, minorities, and animals, and examines implications such as how education shapes individuals and cultures, that culture is curriculum, and that cultures and educational agents can be miseducative as well as educative. She ends with applications to problems of making democratic citizens, women in higher education, and what schools can and cannot do. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
