Power and Education: Contexts of Oppression and Opportunity

by Antonia Kupfer (Editor)

Overview

Education is a crucial influence early in life and is therefore inextricably linked with power. This book examines how education can limit opportunities and create social inequality as well as being an empowering force for good. Theoretical approaches on the relationship of power and education are discussed as are questions on power and knowledge.
