This course is about teachers and students and powerful
ideas; it is also about maturation, longing, power,
deception and self-deception. We will be asking important
questions about the educative process, examining different
models of what that has meant for those who presume to
teach, as well as for those who crave deeper understanding,
from the time when Socrates provoked the young with
unsettling questions to Michel Foucault's teaching that the
expression of sexuality is socially constructed.
