Apple to the ϳԹ to give a talk on his latest research.\n For all of the well-deserved attention that is given to neoliberal agendas and policies, to privatization and choice plans, to audit cultures and standardization, we must continue to pay just as much attention to the actual stuff that is taught—and the “absent presences” of what is not taught—in schools. These struggles over dominant meanings are crucial elements in social transformations. A major question here is whether dominant knowledge itself can be used to actually interrupt dominance.\n I focus on two examples of these critically democratic attempts involving minoritized groups and on the contradictions and victories they produce.\n LOCATION:G03 Alan Walters Building STATUS:CONFIRMED TRANSP:OPAQUE CLASS:PUBLIC END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
