Hermeneutics, and Education

The course will examine how hermeneutics expands our understanding of education, philosophically, theologically, pedagogically, and culturally, particularly with regard to meaning and experience, and how they shape our claim to know. The course will consider how meaning, experience, and the claim to know are all fundamental to education and how they are shaping education - both secular and religious - in the midst of religious and cultural diversity. The course will be founded on how hermeneutics informs the relationship between religion and education. Lecture, seminar presentation, readings, research papers.
