20th October


Our first meeting of the year will be held on Monday 20th October, from 7.30 to 9pm in the upstairs seminar room of Darwin College.

All are welcome!

We begin our readings on the science of education with a French classic:

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Émile, ou De l'éducation (1762), Book 2, especially the discussion of children’s reasoning, which is pp. 89-126 in the Penguin edition translatedby Allan Bloom; pp. 63-107 in the Everyman edition translated by Barbara Foxley; and paragraphs 254-412 in the Grace Roosevelt translation, available online.

A copy of this will also be placed in our box file in the Whipple Library.
