The Loss of Solitude in Schools and Culture

Hour 2: How is our always-on, never-out-of touch society affecting school kids and the world they will eventually enter as adults? We’ll spend this hour with Diana Senechal, who will receive the Hiett Prize in Humanities and deliver the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture 2011 Hiett Prize Lecture on Wednesday. Her forthcoming book on the subject is “Republic of Noise: The Loss of Solitude in Schools and Culture” (R&L Education, 2011).
