题目：Underdevelopment and Dependency: Education as Reproduction

演讲人：Mr. Ben Mulvey

Ben is currently reading for an MA in Education and International Development at

University College London Institute of Education. His main areas of interest are social

justice, education policy, and how international study, provided as a form of aid, can

influence development in low/middle income countries.

演讲内容简介：In this lecture Ben will present a basic introduction to theories of

underdevelopment, dependency and social reproduction in relation to the development of

education in low and middle-income countries. Dependency theory is an attempt at

explaining the present deeply unequal world situation in which over 1 billion people or

one sixth of humanity live in relative poverty. Social Reproduction is the argument that

education has often served to reproduce social and cultural inequality rather than challengeor change it. In this lecture we will explore what these two ideas are, and how they are related to each other.
