Contested Opportunities: Power, Place, and Educational Justice
Sun, April 12, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Ground Floor, Gold 2Session Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
This roundtable examines how educational opportunities are created, denied, and contested across contexts. Papers trace how course placement shapes access to dual enrollment, how Ubuntu sustains teacher motivation in Ghana, and how organizers build solidarity for justice. Studies of parental opportunity hoarding in Israel and displacement in Allentown, Pennsylvania further reveal how whiteness, place, and redevelopment reconfigure access, illuminating the struggles and politics of opportunity in education.
