THURS, 21 SEP 2023 - Thoughtful Thursdays: Postmodernism Exposed - How This Theory Has Affected Education

This is our first THURSDAY program, with a different format than the TUESDAY programs. We are ADDING a new program on THURSDAYS. For now, we are going to call the Thursday programs: Thoughtful Thursdays.

Each Thursday, we will take an introductory deep dive into JUST ONE IDEA, THEORY OR CONCEPT, which impacts our present-day society. The goal of each Thursday episode is to cover three objectives. First, name and define the theory or world-view. Second, name and give brief backgrounds on the primary scholars that advanced the theory. And finally, discuss the impacts that the theory has had on our present-day society.

Today's program will cover POSTMODERNISM and how it has affected education.
