Inventing Education describes in detail a program at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. in which undergraduate students have engaged with K-6 children initially from Sursum Corda, and now from Golden Rule Apartments. Their work was primarily in reading and the language arts, but has included expeditions to museums and other places as well, as this carefully overseen, studied, and joyful program changed and developed over the past 33 years (chapters 1-3). The account also contains a description of Professor Hirsh's time working in a London primary school, and a comparison of the like programs that he helped to develop at Wadham College, Oxford, Clare College and Magdalene College Cambridge (chapters 4-5), and concludes with a description of how the program was conducted online, at Golden Rule Apartments, during the recent COVID pandemic (chapters 6-8). The book contains a foreword by Robert Emmett Curran, author of the three volume HISTORY OF GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY (2010), a chapter by Bradley Galvin demonstrating the program in operation during the pandemic, and photographs of Sursum Corda Apartments by the American photographer Harry Mattison.
