Learning Objectives
The course aims to introduce the student to the study of the history of schools and educational institutions through the methodological and critical lenses of the annalistic historiographical tradition (nouvelle histoire), and with a long-term historiographical perspective (longue durée).
This perspective will allow the student to have a broad vision of the history of the school and of educational institutions, in Europe and in the West, in the light of the progressive conquest of the "right to education and education" and civil, political "rights" and social issues connected to it.
