While we take a summer break, we have some special episodes coming out. This week’s episode is a replay of an episode from last season.
In today’s episode, Bethany White speaks to Dr. Tamson Pietsch and Dr. Joel Barnes about their work on the connections – and tensions – between the fields of the history of knowledge and the history of education. We discuss how the focus and methods of the history of knowledge can help us think through how knowledge is produced and legitimated; understand the role of institutions; and develop our perspectives on post-colonial and indigenous knowledges.
Tamson Pietsch is Associate Professor in Social and Political Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney and Director of the Australian Centre for Public History. Joel Barnes is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Queensland.
