Ivan Illich on schooling
I was never invited to read Ivan Illich’s work as part of my graduate studies, but it’s become clear to me that I need to be paying attention to it — this little video helps to explain why.

Hey Mary,
Sounds like an important work. Would love to hear what you think of it after you do some reading. My thesis is due in a few months, so I don’t have time to read much right now.

Hi, Mary. I’ve been wanting to read something from Illich since finishing Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age where towards the end he calls on stage several exemplars of the kind of Christian faith that Taylor himself finds most compelling — Ivan Illich, Charles Peguy, and Gerard Manley Hopkins — under the interesting chapter title, “Conversions” (the last chapter).
Peace, and thanks for your lovely magpie blogging. I love it.
Chris
