The Political Context of Education
Mon, August 10, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
Political power, ideology, and government intervention have always played roles in what gets taught and who gets ahead in schooling. Education reflects, shapes, and is shaped by contemporary politics and political movements. Indeed, schools are ripe targets for politicization because, as institutions, they touch nearly everyone’s lives and are tasked with shaping the knowledge and values of the populace. This session aims to highlight research on the current political context and its consequences for education. Papers in this session could examine a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) debates about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom or in schools; battles over the curriculum and whether or how certain subjects, social issues, or historical moments are taught; the backlash to Critical Race Theory (CRT); the politicization of educational finances and resources; the political polarization of college campuses; the effects of immigration enforcement on students' outcomes; or threats to academic freedom. Work focused on any level of education (elementary, secondary, postsecondary), on any group of actors or institutions (students, parents, teachers, schools, districts, colleges, broader communities, etc.), and from a range of national and subnational contexts is welcome.
