Education in the Graeco-Roman world was a hallmark of the polis.
Yet the complex ways in which pedagogical theory and practice
intersected with their local environments has not been much
explored in recent scholarship. Learning Cities in Late Antiquity
suggests a new explanatory model that helps to understand better
how conditions in the cities shaped learning and teaching, and how,
in turn, education had an impact on its urban context. Drawing
inspiration from the modern idea of 'learning cities', the chapters
explore the interplay of teachers, learners, political leaders,
communities and institutions in the Mediterranean polis, with a
focus on the well-documented city of Gaza in the sixth century CE.
They demonstrate in detail that formal and informal teaching, as
well as educational thinking, not only responded to specifically
local needs, but also exerted considerable influence on local
society. With its interdisciplinary and comparatist approach, the
volume aims to contextualise ancient education, in order to
stimulate further research on ancient learning cities. It also
highlights the benefits of historical research to theory and
practice in modern education.
