Catholic Education in the Wake of Vatican II
Catholic Education in the Wake of Vatican II is the first work dedicated to the effects of the Second Vatican Council on catholic education in various national and cultural contexts.
School Memories
This book reveals how school memories offer not only a tool for accessing the school of the past, but also a key to understanding what people today know (or think they know) about the school of the past. It describes, in fact, how historians’ work does not purely and simply consist in exploring school as it really was, but also in the complex process of defining the memory of school as one developed and revisited over time at both the individual and collective level. Further, it investigates the extent to which what people “know” reflects the reality or is in fact a product of stereotypes that are deeply rooted in common perceptions and thus exceedingly difficult to do away with. The book includes fifteen peer-reviewed contributions that were presented and discussed during the International Symposium “School Memories. New Trends in Historical Research into Education: Heuristic Perspectives and Methodological Issues” (Seville, 22-23 September, 2015).
Public History of Education. A Brief Introduction
Is historical knowledge important for education? How can we build a shared historical knowledge with schools, communities, and education professionals? The book responds to these questions by suggesting the public history approach, as applied in education and, more generally, to all professions that are based on human relations. The public history of education refers directly to North American experiences, but at the same time it is part of a process of European cultural acceptance and re-elaboration that has one of its main points of reference in the Italian Public History Association. The objective is not to make history for the general public, but to make public history with all those interested, in a collaborative and participative context, in the quest for meaningful knowledge, directly related to the current and challenging needs of our society.
The Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions
This book traces the journey taken by the Canadian Province of Our Lady of the Missions (RNDM) from their establishment in Manitoba in 1898 until 2008, when the congregation as a whole redefined its mission and vision. Using archival research conducted in Winnipeg, Manitoba as well as in England and Italy, and incorporating oral interviews with RNDM sisters, this book explores the historical work of sisters in schools and the part they played in the educational state in formation. The details of the congregation's activity in schools show how the sisters' educational work was related to the social characteristics of the communities (e.g., those of French Canadian settlers, British immigrants...
Common Interests, Uncommon Goals
The World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES) was established in 1970 as an umbrella body which brought together five national and regional comparative education societies. Over the decades it greatly expanded, and now embraces three dozen societies. This book presents histories of the WCCES and its member societies. It shows ways in which the field has changed over the decades, and the forces which have shaped it in different parts of the world.
La Public History tra scuola, università e territorio
Il volume si articola in dieci saggi (ai quali seguono trenta schede di Best Practices) che nel loro insieme offrono uno sguardo sugli intrecci fra la Public History e la scuola. I contributi riflettono sul valore educativo implicito della Public History articolando esempi e ipotesi di percorsi didattici e educativi. Nell’incontro fra Public History, scuola e Università diversi passaggi del libro aprono alla sistematica integrazione con il territorio, i suoi pubblici e le sue tradizioni identitarie, in relazione con le altre istituzioni educative dei vari contesti locali, primi fra tutti i musei della scuola. Una particolare attenzione è dedicata alle esperienze digitali e al loro grande contributo alla condivisione dei saperi storici.
Raccontare la Resistenza a scuola
La pubblicazione nasce con l’intento di raccogliere gli interventi del ciclo di webinar Raccontare la Resistenza a scuola, tenutosi fra aprile e maggio 2021. Il volume intende consolidare i nessi tra riflessione teorica e storica e la pratica didattica, collocandosi nell’ambito della Storia dell’educazione applicata e della Public History of Education. Il testo è pensato dunque per diventare anche uno strumento agevole per gli studenti universitari e per gli insegnanti in servizio. La pubblicazione risponde quindi a una antica richiesta del mondo della scuola e dà un contributo al dibattito storiografico ancora sguarnito sul fronte storico-educativo.
Exhibiting the Past
With respect to public issues, history matters. With the worldwide interest for historical issues related with gender, religion, race, nation, and identity, public history is becoming the strongest branch of academic history. This volume brings together the contributions from historians of education about their engagement with public history, ranging from musealisation and alternative ways of exhibiting to new ways of storytelling.
Human Rights in the Field of Comparative Education
There is no single answer to the question: what are human rights? The answer depends on whom you ask. Several of the papers presented at Fourteenth World Congress of Comparative Education held at Bog ̆aziçi University in Istanbul, Turkey, in June 2010 discussed issues related to human rights from a comparative education viewpoint. The nine papers presented in this book spans from policy analysis to practices in classrooms. They include analyses of human rights from a regional or country perspective, including Greece, Jordan, the Latin American region, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Portugal, the UK, the US, and Turkey. In facilitating a clarification of the ways in which we understand and talk...
