The ongoing struggle for educational change after apartheid: Shadows of history, elusive futures

Fri, April 10, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Petree D

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Using complementary theories, methods and institutional standpoints, the five papers in this session offers rich accounts of the continuing struggle for education three decades since the end of legal apartheid. In schools, universities, homes, and business, the racial inequalities of colonialism and apartheid are still deeply imprinted on institutions, but they are acted on through the inventive agency of principals, students, families and corporates in ways that forge more promising futures against the power of unforgetting.
