2.9 - The history of knowledge with Tamson Pietsch and Joel Barnes (Replay)

History of Education Society UK Podcast

I'm taking a few weeks off this summer to work on my dissertation, so instead of new episodes we'll be sharing some of our favorite interviews from the archive. We'll also have some guest episodes from other history of education podcasts.
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.
A transcript of the episode is available upon request at the History of Education Society website, along with more information about our events, publications and conferences.
