EDUCATION
The False Promise of
Global Learning
Why Education Needs Boundaries
Alex Standish
• Intelligent and brilliantly argued attack
on ‘globalized’ curriculum reform
• Demonstrates how current reforms are
undermining the authority and
effectiveness of teachers
• Will help readers identify which
policies are harmful to students and
which are helpful
The False Promise of Global Learning
demonstrates forcefully that the nature
and purpose of education has become
confused with social, economic, political,
and therapeutic aims, and that control
over the curriculum has been taken away
from teachers and communities. This is a
hard-hitting and persuasive work that will
resonate with all educators who have a
stake in how – and why – we educate our
children.

philosophy, reframing the debate
around education and citizenship

Cambridge and at UC Berkeley

Pragmatism, The Pedagogy of Difference,

The Aesthetics of
Education
Theatre, Curiosity, and Politics in
the Work of Jacques Ranciere and
Paulo Freire
Tyson E. Lewis
• Fresh scholarship
applying
contemporary
Continental
Philosophy to
Educational
theory
• Uses Ranciere’s
ideas to
illuminate
discussions of teaching and learning
This innovative book examines the
aesthetic event of education. Extending
beyond the pedagogy of art or art
appreciation, Tyson E. Lewis takes a much
broader view of aesthetics and argues
that teaching and learning are themselves
aesthetic performances. The result is
an extension and problematization of
Ranciere’s project as well as a new
appreciation for the largely ignored
aesthetic dimension of Freire’s pedagogy
of the oppressed.
