Feb. 19: Campbell chair candidate presentation
Kevin Kumashiro, candidate for the College's Carmen Starkson Campbell Endowed Chair in Urban Education, will present research that examines current education policy initiatives from the political Right in the United States, and reasons why the Right has been successful at influencing public opinion. With connections to recent and current presidential elections, the analysis draws on communication studies to illuminate the "framing" of these initiatives and the insidious ways that they operate. Also critically examined are the failures of the Left to reframe the debate, particularly regarding racial disparities, gender-based discrimination, and teacher preparation. The presentation concludes with implications for education research, practice, and advocacy.
