"Educational Theory" in the Fifties: The Beginning of a Conversation.
Feinberg, Walter; Odeshoo, Jason
Educational Theory, v50 n3 p289-306 Sum 2000
Examines writing on educational theory in the 1950s, a time of presumed consensus, where essentialisms were taken for granted and homeostasis and homogeneity were held up as social aims, noting that the surface civility of the field hid underlying exclusions and tensions and that questions were not being asked about the lack of attention to racism, sexism, and homophobia.
