The Curriculum of the Body and the School as Clinic - Histories of Public Health and Schooling

This collection brings together cutting-edge research on the history of embodiment, health, and schooling in an international context. The book distinguishes a set of educational technologies, schooling practices and school-based public health programmes that organize and influence the bodies of children and young people, defining the curriculum of the body. Taking a historical approach, with a focus on the period in which mass schooling became an international phenomenon, the book is organised according to four major themes. The first positions the school as a modern clinical space, followed by a second that explores programmes and curricula which influence the discipline of and care for the body. The third section examines the role of the built environment on the organization and experience of children’s bodies, and the final section outlines the pedagogies, rules and routines that determine how the body is treated and experienced in school. International and multidisciplinary in scope, this unique collection is of interest to postgraduate students and researchers education and public health, as well as history, policy studies and sociology.
