Ignorance and Professional Military Education: The Case for Operational Engagement. Tran, T., Oliveira, M., Sider, J., & Blanken, L. November, 2018.
Ignorance and Professional Military Education: The Case for Operational Engagement [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
There are libraries full of books on the quest for knowledge, but little is known about how things are not learned (or, once learned, not retained). The intellectual historians Robert Proctor and Londa Schiebinger coined the term “agnotology” to refer to the study of ignorance and how it is produced. They make the powerful case that “ignorance is often not merely the absence of knowledge but an outcome of cultural and political struggle.” The perspective that Proctor and Schiebinger provide offers a critical lens through which to evaluate the trajectory of professional military education.
