Studying Like A Communist: Affect, The Party, And The Educational Limits To Capitalism, Derek R. Ford
Studying Like A Communist: Affect, The Party, And The Educational Limits To Capitalism, Derek R. Ford
Education Studies Faculty publications
In an effort to theorize educational logics that are oppositional to capitalism, this article explores what it means to study like a communist. I begin by drawing out the tight connection between learning and capitalism, demonstrating that education is not a subset but a motor of political-economic relations. Next, I turn to the concept of study, which is being developed as an educational alternative to learning. While studying represents an educational challenge to capitalism, I argue that there are political limitations to studying for which we need to account. Specifically, studying is not in itself political, but only represents the …
A Pedagogy For Space: Teaching, Learning, And Studying In The Baltimore Rebellion, Derek R. Ford
A Pedagogy For Space: Teaching, Learning, And Studying In The Baltimore Rebellion, Derek R. Ford
Education Studies Faculty publications
While most educational literature on space has tended to ask what spatial studies can offer education, this article works primarily to educationalize theories of space. It does so by homing in on Henri Lefebvre’s theorization of the production of space as a potentially revolutionary activity. After spending some time situating Lefebvre’s historical and theoretical analysis, it takes his understanding of the production of space as an educational problematic, and in turn seeks to develop a spatial educational theory and a pedagogy for space, the latter being the mobilization of the former. In particular, I propose to augment Lefebvre’s spatial triad …
Insurrection, Not Inclusion: Education And The Right To The City In Occupied Palestine, Derek R. Ford, Laura Jordan Jaffee
Insurrection, Not Inclusion: Education And The Right To The City In Occupied Palestine, Derek R. Ford, Laura Jordan Jaffee
Education Studies Faculty publications
Critical educational theorists have recently begun to take up the notion of the ‘right to the city’ to understand and resist neoliberal attacks on education in the U.S. This process, however, has thus far not attended to the important debates taking place around what the right to the city actually is. In this paper we tease out the complexities that arise from these debates by turning to the colonization of Palestine and Palestinian resistance to colonization. We ultimately argue that the right to the city has to be conceived of in internationalist and anti-imperialist terms, lest movements for the city …
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 …
The Pneumatic Common: Learning In, With And From The Air, Derek R. Ford
The Pneumatic Common: Learning In, With And From The Air, Derek R. Ford
Education Studies Faculty publications
Air is an immersive substance that envelopes us and binds us together, yet it has dominantly been taken for granted and left out of educational and other theorizations. This article develops a conceptualization of the pneumatic common in order to address this gap. The specific intervention staged is within recent educational literature on the common by Noah De Lissovoy, Tyson E. Lewis, and Alexander Means. This literature is surveyed and analyzed in relation to educational theory, curriculum, pedagogy, and policy. Claiming that the air is a central feature of and paradigm for the common, I then concentrate on making the …
