(EDU5) Canadian and Comparative Perspectives on Race, Class, and Contested Frameworks in Education
Conference Highlights, Panels and Plenary, Virtual-CSASociology of Education
This session is an ‘authors meets critics’ panel which explores issues highlighted in a new anthology, On Class, Race, and Educational Reform: Contested Perspectives, which explores dimensions of educational reform through engagement across critical race theory, Marxism, intersectionality, critical ethnic studies, and other critical frameworks. It brings together Canadian scholars, who will address in particular the relevance of these themes within the Canadian context, followed by commentary by several contributors to the book offering reflections on similarities and differences across contexts, including the US, UK, and other nations. The session is intended foster further dialogue and engagement focused on advancing progressive reform in education and other institutional sites.
This session is co-sponsored by the Canadian Society for the Study of Education. We invite you to attend our session in the morning, (EDU4) Race, Class, and Contested Frameworks in Education: A Dialogic Project.
