Rituals and Student Identity in Education: Ritual Critique for a New Pedagogy

by Richard A. Quantz, Terry O''Connor (Contributor), Peter Magolda (Contributor)

An exploration of how the nonrational aspects of schooling, especially ritual(s), have been harnessed to construct a commonsense which serves the interests of transnational corporations, leaving those educators committed to democracy to develop a new pedagogy that rejects the technical solutions that present reforms demand.

Combined the stuff I learned about in Ritual (class) really well with my interest in education, power dynamics, and the potential for a new type of education. Definitely recommend if you're interested in ritual performance and how different characters interact with each other inside of a school setting.
