    Education and Development at the End of an Era: Potential for Paradigm Shift?

After graduation from Yale University more than a decade ago, Jeremy has traveled and lived throughout much of the World. The great contrasts he repeatedly witnessed created a set of interwoven questions: Why had progress not materialized in so many places globally? Why was so much of the World falling faster and further behind? Why the great faith that science could solve problems which were fundamentally political and man-made? Why was the rich World so unaware of the global poor? Beginning with graduate studies at Oxford, Jeremy has systematically pursued these questions in the field of education from a variety of perspectives: theoretical, historical, and comparative. During his time on Hakubi he will now attempt to combine and extend this work into a far-ranging ‘re-reading of the global’; one that hopefully can help scholars and policymakers alike find their way out of the ‘common sense’ of current policy trends.
