Sun, April 12, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Ground Floor, Gold 4Session Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
This roundtable examines how education policies define, institutionalize, and challenge notions of equity across diverse contexts. Papers explore the politics of curricular control, professional regulation, and rights enforcement, revealing how equity is alternately constructed as a guiding principle and contested as a site of ideological struggle. Collectively, the papers illuminate the shifting boundaries of inclusion and justice in contemporary education policy.
