41.030 - The Politics of Neoliberal Educational Policies and Equal Educational Opportunity: Empirical and Conceptual Examinations

Sat, April 29, 8:15 to 10:15am, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Floor: Fourth Floor, Texas Ballroom Salon E

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Where a significant body of research literature has investigated the effects of market reforms on student achievement, racial, socioeconomic, and linguistic segregation, a much smaller subset has examined the politics of power, governance, and community engagement created through neoliberal education policies. This symposium, comprised of a diverse group of scholars, contributes to this second body of literature and considers the politics of neoliberal educational policies, providing new conceptual and empirical research that examines intersectional issues of power, race, poverty, gender, and schooling.
