Poster #31 - Exploring the Subjectivity of Leaders and Teachers in High-Poverty Schools Situated in a Neoliberal Policy Context

Sat, April 6, 8:00 to 9:30am, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 300 Level, Hall C

Abstract

This critical ethnographic study utilizes Foucauldian theories to problematize, critique, and question the political system of educational policy that governs and transforms the subjectivity of a principal and teachers in a school serving marginalized youth. The findings expose the ways in which the system oppresses the principal, as well as the ways that she navigates and disrupts the mechanisms of power.
