International Congress on “Society, education and the elite. Historical perspectives from the Enlightenment to the Digital Era”

“The International Congress on »Society, education and the elite. Historical Perspectives from the Enlightenment to the Digital Era” intends to examine the relationships between society, education and elites from the viewpoint that society (public discourse, parties, States, government systems, etc.) and education (primary and secondary schools, vocational training centres, higher education institutions, etc.) make up their own systems. Special attention is paid to the way in which the different historical processes of secularisation, industrialisation, modernisation, digitalisation, etc. have created various ways in which education systems train elites who serve the social system.

This Congress has been jointly organised by the University of Deusto and the University of the Basque Country. It is sponsored by the Spanish Society for the History of Education (SEDHE) and the Valentín de Foronda Institute of Social History.
