Accepting Responsibility for (In)Equity in Education? Critical Policy Analysis Across Contexts

Mon, April 12, 9:30 to 11:00am EDT (9:30 to 11:00am EDT), Division L, Division L - Section 7 Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents contemporary critical policy analyses from the United States, Canada and Australia. The seven papers represent methodological, contextual and theoretical diversity. Individually, they offer incisive critiques of localized policy processes and outcomes that shape the way equity, and indeed inequity, are manifest in situ. Taken as a whole, they represent a spectrum of approaches to understanding equity in education and point out various ways that educators, scholars, policy makers and activists can engage with systems to leverage change. The session is structured to provide audience interaction with individual author(s), and also with the authors as a group. An eminent scholar has agreed to offer brief commentary to conclude the session.
