The book deals with the relevance of community-based philosophical practices to individual and social empowerment. The methodological focus is on «Philosophy for Communities», an application of Lipman and Sharp's «Philosophy for Children» to non-formal and informal education contexts with adults. The book shows how to assess community practices.
This book, a trenchant analysis of schooling within the capitalist world system, where educational reforms are directed to the satisfaction of the business community, military industrial complex, and corporate sector, is a work combating injustice and authoritarianism prevalent in the Americas.
Disconnected is a path-breaking analysis of the relationship between schooling and employers in Latin America. It is sophisticated in its design, using multiple surveys and multiple methods. It distinguishes carefully among different types of skills and the relationship of each type to employment outcomes and employer needs. It examines both the demand and the supply side of the labor market. And it provides guidance for further work. We commend this book to all readers, scholars, and practitioners concerned with schooling and job markets in Latin America.
Using the literacy and adult education programs in several Latin American countries as prime examples of adult educational reform, Torres examines such issues as why given educational policies are created, how they are constructed, planned, and implemented, what are the implications of such policies.
