Theodore Christou

The history of research and scholarship in education is a record of our efforts to make sense of the world. How ought we to live? What should we learn, embrace, and resist? From antiquity to anarchism, or, from Aristotle to Pink Floyd, we have known that we should never confuse schooling with education. Schools, whether they are traditional, progressive, colonial, or transgressive, have all been instruments of oppression as well as resistance.
