Vygotsky: Revolutionary Educationalist for Today

Speaker: 
Franklin Shirley
Room: 
Tower Room 1
Time: 
5pm

Shirley is a lecturer in Education and will talk about the work of Lev Vygotsky, Russian educationalist, which was banned by Stalin and then doctored by the West in the 1960's. How and why does class relate to learning and school achievement? Vygotsky's ideas about learning are as relevant today as they were in the heyday of the Russian Revolution.
