Framing the Crisis of Education in the News: The Hidden Curriculum and Pedagogies of Neoliberalism

Sat, April 9, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Exhibit Hall D Section B

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This symposium examines news reporting about issues related to education, particularly in the wake of the radical re-visioning of all aspects of life and the public sphere under the mantel of neoliberalism. Presenters highlight how news reporting reflects both the official and hidden curriculum of neoliberalism as a common sense solution to the crisis in education, and challenge the neoliberal social imaginary—one that severs all relations between the individual and communities, destroys the supports and institutions of the public sphere, and narrowly constrains the curriculum to one in which only the knowledge that earns the most is of most value.
