The Politics of Student Voice: How Students Interrogate Policy Discourses, Processes, and Practices
Thu, April 13, 4:40 to 6:10pm CDT (4:40 to 6:10pm CDT), Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago, Floor: 2nd Floor, AegeanSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Historically and contemporarily students have been critical to bringing issues of justice in education policy to the fore. Yet, there have been limited formal spaces that elevate student voice scholarship in educational policy. In response, this symposium aims to serve as a platform for opening new areas for investigation, especially connections between theory to practice specific to student voice in educational policy and the politics of education. This collection of papers offers diverse examples of how students are influencing change in education policy and practice, while also presenting the political realities and tensions that emerge when students participate in policy leadership activities. Finally, the symposium provides an opportunity to network with other scholars who amplify student voice in policy research.
