The course provides an introduction to historical and contemporary understandings of formation through education and fundamental ideas about formation through education will be discussed and challenged. The course will critically examine established educational aims such as citizenship, democracy, personal autonomy and freedom. In addition, academic reading and writing will be explored as a central part of the methodology of educational theory.
