The development by two faculty members of a course to explore the question, What is education?

This proposal seeks funding to support the development and implementation of a new undergraduate, lower-level course in the Department of Philosophy and Liberal Studies at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock. We seek to construct a course around the enduring question, "What is education?" that will pull from a variety of texts throughout different historical and cultural traditions. The course will be planned and taught by Dr. Allison Merrick and Dr. Rochelle Green and will be made available to students regardless of major or chosen field of study.
