Just tripped across this article which has not yet been assigned to an issue of Cultural Studies of Science Education:
Roth, Wolf-Michael. "Enracinement or the Earth, the Originary Ark, Does Not Move: On the Phenomenological (Historical and Ontogenetic) Origin of Common and Scientific Sense and the Genetic Method of Teaching (for) Understanding." DOI 10.1007/s11422-014-9606-z
From abstract: "In this study, I take up Simone Weil’s concepts of enracinement (rooting) and déracinement (uprooting) to theorize the root of this alienation, the confrontation between children’s familiarity with the world and unfamiliar/strange scientific conceptions"

Simone Weil Bibliography now updated
Simone Weil Bibliography has been upgraded to new version of Biblio that allows for much better searching. It also now includes over 2500 records. I will be adding to this on a more regular basis. Currently this reflects over 70 percent of records collected to date. Due to initial problems in importing Japanese and Chinese material, many are still missing from the posted bibliography. Hope to have this fixed shortly.
Please forward to me any errors and/or suggestions for keywords. It has been particularly challenging for me to assign keywords for works in the wide variety of languages represented!
