The Margins of Neoliberal Reform: Envisioning Critical Race Praxis Along the Borders of K–12 Education

• In Event: The Margins of Neoliberal Reform: Envisioning Critical Race Praxis Along the Borders of K–12 Education

Abstract

Abstract
This symposium will trace and reimagine the racialized borders of neoliberal education as it unfolds in sites outside traditional mainstream K-12 spaces and identify modes of critical race praxis in what are considered to be peripheral locations. Each of the four papers included demarcates a critical yet under-examined site for analysis in charting the entanglement of racism and neoliberalism in education. In addition to mapping the racialized margins of K-12 education in a neoliberal context, the convergence of these works in alternative teacher education, charter schools and parent activism, culturally relevant teaching in alternative schools, and transformative postsecondary pedagogy allows for a critical centering of the borders of traditional sites and a holistic envisioning of critical race praxis in education.
