Free Download The Envy of Angels: Cathedral Schools and Social Ideals in Medieval Europe, 950-1200 By C. Stephen Jaeger
2013 | 544 Pages | ISBN: 0812200306 | PDF | 30 MB
Before the rise of universities, cathedral schools educated students in a course of studies aimed at perfecting their physical presence, their manners, and their eloquence. The formula of cathedral schools was "letters and manners" (litterae et mores), which asserts a pedagogic program as broad as the modern "letters and science." The main instrument of what C. Stephen Jaeger calls "charismatic pedagogy" was the master’s personality, his physical presence radiating a transforming force to his students. In The Envy of Angels, Jaeger explores this intriguing chapter in the history of ideas and higher learning and opens a new view of intellectual and social life in eleventh- and early twelfth-century Europe.

This research considers coming to and going through art school as a crucial inter-subjective learning environment.

Free Download Bonnie E. French, "Race at Predominantly White Independent Schools: The Space between Diversity and Equity"
English | ISBN: 1498553648 | 2020 | 180 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
In Race at Predominantly White Independent Schools, Bonnie E. French investigates the management of "diversity" at predominantly White, independent schools in the northeastern United States. By conducting in-depth interviews with diversity policy developers and implementers within the independent school community, French explores current efforts toward racial equity and the relationship between racial equity and diversity. Data collected from interviews are supplemented with numerical data from the National Association of Independent Schools that chronicles enrollment and employment of people of color, as well as with content analysis of published materials from the independent school community. Using Critical Race Theory to frame this critique, French argues that the diversity movement, by not seeking to challenge the current state of inequality in a meaningful way, only serves to strengthen the segregated and unequal status quo.
