Continuity & Change in Catholic Education: An Ethnography of Christian Brothers College. Research Monograph No. 1.
Bates, Richard; And Others
Four papers on an ethnographic study of Christian Brothers College (CBC) in Australia, a Catholic college, are presented. In "Christian Brothers College: A View from Overseas," Louis M. Smith discusses research methods, the religious ethos, faculty heterogeneity, diversity in classroom organization, the organizational context of the college, and the position and role of the headmaster. In "Continuity and Change in the Brothers' Educational Mission," Lawrence Angus notes that the influence of lay teachers and aging membership of the Christian Brothers is changing CBC. In "Cultural Reproduction of the Labour Market: Work-Experience at CBC," Peter E. Watkins suggests that at CBC a common cultural function was indicated where family, religion, school, and work experience cultural traits merged and coalesced. Reproduction occurred through the continual movement of students into complex organizational relationships. In "Reproduction and Contestation: Class, Religion, Gender and Control at Christian Brothers College," Richard J. Bates notes that control over administration, discipline, and curriculum was contested and a process of transformation was hastened by the increasing lay proportion of the faculty body. (SW)
