The News Media, Education, And The Subversion Of The Neoliberal Social Imaginary, Derek R. Ford
The News Media, Education, And The Subversion Of The Neoliberal Social Imaginary, Derek R. Ford
Education Studies Faculty publications
In this introductory essay, the special issue editors examine the relationship between the media and the neoliberal privatization of education in the U.S. They first take up an examination of news media journalism in late modernity and highlight how neoliberal politics under the guise of democratization of the news media have resulted in both the gutting of professional education journalism and the intensification of the representation of the interests of the economic elite. They next turn to the task of establishing a common and critical understanding of the term neoliberalism, locating it as an extension of Marx’s concept of primary …

In this paper we examine challenges faced by students of color in an intervention program [Opportunity] in a socially stratified community on California’s Central Coast. The purpose of this paper is to name and discuss the problems students face: lack of support from the teaching community, the school staff and the administration of the parent district. We further identify challenges experienced by students and their teachers while highlighting strengths and weaknesses of educational programs and their reciprocal effects on participants. Finally, we seek to share a narrative overview of a teacher’s experience in creating the conditions for an inclusive education.

Skirting Around Critical Feminist Rationales For Teaching Women In Social Studies, Mardi Schmeichel
Skirting Around Critical Feminist Rationales For Teaching Women In Social Studies, Mardi Schmeichel
Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications
Feminist practices can provide firm theoretical grounding for the kind of social studies that scholars promote, especially in relation to efforts to include women in the curriculum. However, in P–12 social studies education, neither women nor feminism receive much attention. The study described in this article was a discourse analysis of 16 recently published lesson plans that did include women. Through this examination of the rationales and language used to promote teaching about women, the author sheds light on some discursive obstacles inhibiting attention to gender issues in critical feminist ways and argues that by shifting norms in the field, …
Working Within The Tensions Of Disability And Education In Post-Colonial Kenya: Toward A Praxis Of Critical Disability Studies, Brent C. Elder, Alan Foley
Working Within The Tensions Of Disability And Education In Post-Colonial Kenya: Toward A Praxis Of Critical Disability Studies, Brent C. Elder, Alan Foley
College of Education Faculty Scholarship
This paper explores emerging and evolving critical approaches to inclusive education development work in the postcolonial, global South context of Kenya. Taking an ontoformative (Connell, 2011) perspective of disability, we view disability as a dynamic process inherently tied to social contexts and their fluid effects on disabled bodies. Thus, not all impairments are a natural form of human diversity, and many are imposed on bodies in underdeveloped countries through oppressive imported Western practices. In this paper we present our work not as models of ‘what to do’ or ‘what not to do’ in development work. Rather we offer a reflection …
