Klappentext zu „An Education in 'Evil' “
This book asserts that engaging with divergent understandings about the nature of evil and how it functions can help those interested in education think through issues in curriculum, pedagogy, and beyond. The author provokes thinking about and through the concept of evil in the spirit of thoughtful education (as opposed to thoughtless schooling) toward how we might live together in less harmful ways. Although thinking about evil can be uncomfortable and troubling, such inquiries help us explore what sort of relations we want to have with others. Analyzing our role in evil as humans, as well as our responsibilities to counter the processes of evil present in our everyday lives, opens up a potential to foster radical thought in and out of the classroom.

Pressezitat
"This book is a great choice for anyone looking for a new way to think about ethical dilemmas and hard conversations as they exist in the classroom and in schooling more generally. ... This book is a forceful read that adds a new perspective to educational theory and practice." (Victoria Davis Smith, Theory & Research in Social Education, January 22, 2020)"A unique and valuable apparatus that can help educators and students reconceptualize evil as being a perpetually developing and creative force. ... elementary school educators could benefit from the identification of theories and concepts that could serve as starting points for discussion with younger students." (Bretton A. Varga, The Journal of Social Studies Research, Vol. 43 (4), October, 2019)
