All general education programs in U.S. universities fill a void left when moral education, once the considered at the core of a liberal education, faded as univesrities became secular, and as the classical curriculum collapsed under pressure for vocational and pre-professional training. In the specifics of its mission and methods, however, general education has been re-invented several times over the past hundred years in response to the social conditions of the day. Some Gen Ed programs were meant to inspire changes in secondary education as well. Drawing on lessons from history about why the various general education programs lost their momentum, I will describe what goals are achievable today and what approaches are now workable in secondary schools and universities.
Professor Lewis 将以英语主讲。
