Class Notes:
ICGC topical workshop - "Global cinemas of schooling" A recurring narrative about schooling around the world is that it prepares learners for future success and contributes to the betterment of society. Done "incorrectly," however, schooling can also be seen as an institution where social inequalities and dominant ideologies are reproduced. This discussion-based seminar uses films from around the world - both documentaries and fictional films - to examine the ways in which schooling (broadly defined) is imagined in popular culture. Together, we will view films addressing education in class, and come to class to discuss films and documentaries that we view between sessions. The point of departure for our class is that the multiple meanings that are projected onto schools and educational processes by different actors indicate they are sites of politics and cultural production across settings. By this token, films about schooling are a generative point of entry to understanding the complex relationships of schooling to a given social order.
