Book Synopsis

As more and more students, especially those juggling school and work, rarely see a conventional classroom, US scholars of education, other social sciences, and the humanities explore how methods and the philosophy of education can and must account for the new learning environments. Among their topics are critical pedagogy in a time of permanent war, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum as a scene of pedagogical address, and history in the digital domain.
