Using an analysis of learning by a case study comparison of two
undergraduate courses at a United States University, Nespor
examines the way in which education and power merge in physics and
management. Through this study of politics and practices of
knowledge, he explains how students, once accepted on these
courses, are facilitated on a path to power; physics and management
being core disciplines in modern society. Taking strands from
constructivist psychology, post-modern geography, actor-network
theory and feminist sociology, this book develops a theoretical
language for analysing the production and use of knowledge. He puts
forward the idea that learning, usually viewed as a process of
individual minds and groups in face-to-face interaction, is
actually a process of activities organised across space and time
and how organisations of space and time are produced in social
practice.; Within this context educational courses are viewed as
networks of a larger whole, and individual courses are points in
the network which link a wider relationship by way of texts, tasks
and social practices intersecting with them. The book shows how
students enrolled on such courses automatically become part of a
network of power and knowledge.
