Social Justice Education Out of Bounds: New Frameworks and Alliances Saturday,
March 1, 2014
Syracuse University - Syracuse, NY

Contemporary education reform movements have involved increasingly
standardized and privatized attempts to control public institutions and the
funds that support them. Top-down initiatives, coupled with mandates that
drain budgets and strain resources, have been constricting the minds,
bodies, and imaginations of educators and learners. But movements to resist
are growing. Across the U.S., educators, students, parents, and scholars
have been organizing against high-stakes standardized testing, common core
curricula, public schools closings, and the general privatization of
educational processes, practices, and sites. This organizing has taken a
variety of forms, united diverse groups of constituents, and involved all
levels of education.

Education has always been a site of contestation, and the resistance to
neoliberal educational “reform” is embedded within a long history of
struggle over issues of educational access and purpose. At this year’s
conference, we hope to address the history, current state, and potential
promise of activism for social justice in education.
