Histories of educational technologies. Introducing the cultural and social dimensions of pedagogical objects
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Spanish scholars started to pay particular attention to the history of schools’ material culture, defining this as “etnohistoria de la escuela”. Reflections on the “materiality of schooling” and “school heritage” continued in the years that followed. Teaching tools or, more widely, “school objects” challenge the concepts of space, time and sociality. They speak of school practices, cultural history, a…

Breaking boundaries
Over the last century, higher education has profoundly changed the contours of women’s lives. While securing an academic or professional qualification has significantly opened up opportunities for educated women, the shifting possibilities for work have not been uniformly experienced. Themes of resistance, moral outrage, and bureaucratic invisibility emerge to highlight the continuities and discontinuities women faced irrespective of circumstance…
Striving for recognition
Italy opened the doors of its universities to female students in 1875. The generalview was that very few women were clever enough to obtain a degree, so they would not threaten social stability. Female professors would be even rarer – a few exceptional “male” women. Access to the professions was impossible in the case of the legal profession, or limited in terms of medicine. In this context, where both Catholics and Positivists opposed women’s ca…
Agostino Gemelli (1878–1959) and mental disability
In the early decades of the twentieth century the question of mental disabilities was widely discussed in Italy, while the first special schools for the intellectually impaired were set up. An important role was played by the Franciscan friar Agostino Gemelli (1878–1959), a physician, renowned psychologist, and founder in 1921 of the Catholic University of Milan. Gemelli promoted relevant psychological research on intellectual disabilities, based…
Classifying children
At the end of the 19th century, children were increasingly seen as measurable and classifiable objects of study on which a scientific approach to education could be based. Two factors fed into the development of this approach: confidence in scientific methods and the expansion of national education systems. Thus, there emerged a confluence of power and science that led to the measurement and classification of children in the name of an efficientl…

This book condenses the output of 10 years’ research by its author, Juri Meda, who handles the topic of material culture in schools with confident mastery. The originality of the work lies in Meda’
Ilustración católica para niños. La enseñanza de la religión a los niños en el Imperio de los Habsburgo de José II a la Restauración
During Joseph II's reign a deep cultural shift took place within the intellectual and religious establishment, with the acceptance of philosophical and pedagogical ideas that bore a distinctive Enlightenment and Protestant stamp
