Scholarship That Befits a Democracy: Disrupting Educational Inequality Through the Scholarship of Mike Rose

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Mike Rose’s body of work at its core is fundamentally about disrupting inequality and injustice: racial, economic, and educational injustice. Few scholars have had such a profound influence on education in the U.S., using his scholarship to disrupt deficit conceptions about the intelligence and possibility of poor, working class, and youth of color. Mike Rose was a renowned scholar in the academy and a public intellectual whose life work was devoted to building a democratic education for all youth.
