History of Education on Air
Podcast

HistEdOnAir – Bringing History of Education to your ears.

Our podcast HistEdOnAir discusses topics in the field of education from a historiographical perspective. Delving deeper into questions such as why going to school has become a widely shared experience or how education and schooling have come to be regarded as a cure-all for problems faced by society inspired us to start this project. 

With: Fanny Isensee, M.A.; Josefine Wähler, M.A.; Daniel Töpper, M.A.
