Education Studies Spring Film Series: Schooling the World

This film examines the hidden assumption of cultural superiority behind education aid projects, which overtly aim to help children “escape” to a “better life” – despite mounting evidence of the environmental, social, and mental health costs of our own modern consumer lifestyles, from epidemic rates of childhood depression and substance abuse to pollution and climate change.
Free and open to the public. There will be a Q&A period afterwards led by faculty from the Education Studies Program.
