Allies or Agendas? The Politics of Educational Partnerships
Fri, April 10, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Gold Level, Gold 1Session Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
This roundtable explores how partnerships shape education across early childhood, K–12, and higher education. Studies highlight challenges in prekindergarten mixed-delivery collaborations, the abrupt termination of a federal research–practice partnership, and universities’ roles in military–industrial alliances. Comparative analyses of internationalized academic units in East Asia and philanthropists’ influence in U.S. literacy reform further reveal how governance, funding, and power relations define partnerships’ possibilities, limitations, and consequences for educational change.
