Description
Routledge Educating In Life Ethnographies of Challenging New Normals by herve Varenne with Juliette do Wolfe and Jill Koyama and Gabrielle Oliveira and Sunanda Samaddar Corrado and Michael Scrogging and Daniel Souleles and Jennifer Van Tiem and Sarah Wessler
This volume investigates the ubiquitous education of everyday life as people contest the normal, settle on a new convention, and deal with the difficulties that arise. By documenting adolescent Dominican girls, young men in Silicon Valley, successful venture capitalists, and others imagining, explaining, and challenging the status quo, this book presents evidence that the proper starting point for education is struggle and play within and around institutionalized social and cultural conditions. Through a development of Varenne’s earlier research at the intersection of anthropology and education, this book highlights transformative work that constructs new cultures, and it presents a revitalized theory of culture, difference, and education.
