Research as Repair: Advancing Educational Justice Through the Critical Study of Policy Implementation

Sun, April 27, 8:00 to 9:30am MDT (8:00 to 9:30am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 705

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Under our current political climate, we see some state policymakers passing reform efforts to advance equity in higher education, while others draft legislation to dismantle it. As scholars committed to educational justice, we examine the intricacies of the policy process to understand how these reforms -- some that hold promise, others meant to punish-- are implemented. These six papers use distinctive critical policy approaches to understand the underlying forces and mechanisms that influence implementation in postsecondary education. This symposium brings together scholars at the intersection of policy implementation, critical studies, and postsecondary education, offering the field ways to see research as a tool for repair and scholarly inquiry as instigation toward educational justice.
