A lab that re-examines education and human “growth” through philosophy and the history of ideas.
AboutAbout the lab
Questioning what is taken for granted in education
The Yamana Lab studies human “growth” and education in the fields of philosophy of education and the history of ideas.
By examining, through philosophy and the history of ideas, the notions and values that people are bound by without realizing it, the lab relativizes them and explores new interpretations of education and “growth.”
Recently, the lab has been developing “Memory Pedagogy,” an approach that reconsiders education from the perspectives of collective memory and the culture of remembrance.

This is a framework that reconsiders education and human formation from the perspectives of collective memory and the culture of remembrance. The lab theoretically examines the significance and challenges of passing on memories of catastrophes, and also visits sites where the culture of remembrance is practiced. Which media convey what is also an important question.
