The anxiety of inclusion: Introduction Prof. Paul Standish (Institute of Education, University College London)

Course Description
This is an intensive course “The cultivation of political emotions,” jointly organized by the Graduate School of Education, Kyoto University and UCL Institute of Education.

 

Thinking about education through film
This course will follow ground-breaking work in film as a medium of philosophical enquiry into education. It will examine film texts to explore the ways in which film as a medium aids the understanding of experience and education in what has been called a post-literate, image-driven society. It will explore the potential of film analysis in relation to such features of contemporary society as digitization, textuality, and changing patterns of conversation. The course has relevance not only to the understanding of the changing world in which young people grow up but to questions of teaching and learning through film. In particular, it builds on work undertaken by the UCL Institute of Education-Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Philosophy of Education Research Colloquium. Over the past ten years, this colloquium has researched education by means of film analysis in an innovative and highly productive way. This work draws on the distinctive approaches of two contrasting philosophers: Stanley Cavell and Gilles Deleuze. It thereby brings together different traditions of thought in a dynamic way. The processes of teaching and learning adopted on the course are themselves occasions for reflections on pedagogy and introduction to productive ways of teaching.
