Who Governs Education? Power, Law, and Institutional Change Across Systems
Sat, April 11, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Gold Level, Gold 1Session Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
his round table explores how power, law, and institutional change shape the governance of education across diverse systems and contexts. Papers examine mayoral control and public engagement in Washington, D.C., the constitutional reframing of education rights in Mahmoud v. Taylor, and affective forms of policy control under Arizona’s English-only mandate, alongside stakeholder participation in Ghanaian colleges of education. Collectively, the papers reveal how authority is negotiated, redefined, and constrained through evolving governance structures and modes of policy enforcement in education.
