After a long hiatus, we’re back to release this short, breadcrumb episode, number 89, with Dr. Jane Roland Martin on Education and Gender. Dr. Martin has been a prolific author on the philosophy of education, and in this short episode, explains some of her thinking about past figures in that area, who excluded some things that need to be taught to everyone, and considered their narrower visions the right approach to education for boys. Then, when education for girls caught on, they were thought to need the same education that boys received, excluding those things long considered feminine, which all people should learn.
Dr. Martin was our guest in episode 88 of the show, titled “School Was Our Life.” This short breadcrumb episode is a follow up to that longer conversation, addressing one of the themes of her work. Be sure to check out her most recent book, School Was our Life, as well as The Schoolhome, mentioned in this episode.
