Beyond Schools: Rethinking Policies for Justice and Equitable Education Systems

Mon, April 25, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 2nd Level, Harbor Tower, Harbor Ballroom E

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Counteracting the effects of four pandemics simultaneously: 1) COVID and its disproportionate impact on young people of color; 2) systemic racism 3) the growing economic crisis and 4) the devastating consequences of rising temperatures across the globe will require new, bold conceptions of policy. Highlighting insights from an edited volume, scholars will explore how interrelated policies beyond schools profoundly affect schools like neighborhood conditions, public health, community resources, housing, air quality, school safety, transportation, and segregation. Session authors will cast a new vision for dismantling four pandemics, underscoring the importance of considering in-school (educator capacity, curriculum, funding, course access) and out-of-school conditions (neighborhood conditions, public health, safety, etc.) simultaneously in education policy.
