52.066 - A Call for Critical Education Policy: Examining Injustice and Advancing Justice in Education

Sat, April 18, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Marriott, Floor: Third Level, Dupage

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The panel’s presentations engage in complex discussions of a range of theoretical groundings and methodologies that examine meaning-making on the ground in the face of policy implementation. Through the study of contentious present-day battles in public education such as school closings, connections between school discipline and criminal institutions, gendered and sexualized limits and prescriptions in discipline and curriculum, racial and religious erasures, and teacher strikes, these papers examine the interactions between policy, context, and local practices. Each presentation on this panel considers carefully how the constellations of the intimate and immediate of the every day, including practices of culture, language, and heritage, enrich the terrains of critical policy analysis towards justice work in education research, theorizing and policy making.
