18 May 2010
13:00 to 14:00 , TCRU Library, 27 Woburn Square
Dr. Stefan Ramaekers
Thomas Coram Research Unit (TCRU) lunchtime seminar series
Stefan Ramaekers is Assistant Professor at the Centre for Philosophy of Education, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. He is teaching philosophy of education and qualitative/interpretative educational research methods
His primary research interests are scepticism in educational theory and practices, and the ways in which scepticism is implicated in the human condition. Recently his research has concentrated on a critical investigation of the changing discourses of parenting. A central element in this investigation is the threat of 'privatization' of child-rearing and parenting due to the intrusion of developmental psychology into this area and a scientification of the parent-child relationship
