This text investigates how foundational social and philosophical theories can be applied to the field of education to better understand teaching, learning, and institutional structures.

By synthesizing complex theoretical perspectives, the authors offer a roadmap for educators and students to analyze the intersection of power, culture, and classroom practice.
