I've never paid close attention to what my friends and siblings studied in B.Ed. programs elsewhere.<br /><br />Do you have any Bruce Curtis on your reading list? He a historical sociologist who has written a lot about education, particularly its role as an instrument of state formation, focusing on the nineteenth century. From what I recall (I've read a couple articles), he employs a concept of social regulation that is somewhat more flexible than the binary models you describe. I don't think he's inclined toward meditations on the human condition, and he relies a bit too much on applications of Foucault, but he's also not your typical sociologist. I'd be interested to get your take if you read him.Jeremynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757850139459395536.post-73980846839422211752010-09-22T12:51:44.594-04:002010-09-22T12:51:44.594-04:00Bring on the barrage . . . great start.Bring on the barrage . . . great start.Davehttp://www.thedescribe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
