As the neoliberal agenda for public education in North America intensifies, educational literature has increasingly
turned its attention toward understanding the logics and processes of neoliberal
privatization. Additionally, attention has been paid as to how
educators resist these processes and practices, both in the classroom and beyond.
This special issue seeks to deepen our understanding of the neoliberal privatization
of education by extending critical examinations to an underrepresented field of
cultural production: that of mainstream media reporting on education and the neoliberal
privatization of education, which many believe represents a new round of primitive
accumulation. By examining and analyzing the mainstream media’s relationship to
the processes in which neoliberal education ideologies are constructed, reflected,
and reified, articles in this issue will explicate the various ways in which the
mainstream media has helped facilitate and legitimate neoliberalism as universal
logic in reforming education, both locally and globally. Articles will also speak
to how critical educations have guided students in K-20 schools to understand the
mainstream media’s relationship to supporting the neoliberal takeover of schools.
We welcome conceptual, empirical, theoretical, pedagogical and
narrative articles that approach this topic from a variety of perspectives and frameworks.
Articles included in the special issue may ask and examine questions such as, but
not limited to:
* How has media coverage of teachers’ unions and teachers’ strikes
reinforced and/or advanced privatization?
* What shift has taken place in terms of who is positioned in
the media as educational “experts”?
* What are the differences between the way that various major
news networks, newspapers, and news magazines talk about educational privatization?
* How are Teach For America and Teach For All being propelled
by media coverage?
* What are the variations in media coverage of the neoliberal
agenda for education?
* What are the alternatives and prospects for challenges to the
mainstream media?
* How has ALEC impacted school reform policies and practices
on the state level and to what extent has the media covered it?
* How have critical educators positioned their students to understand
the mainstream media’s role in supporting the corporate agenda for schooling?
Critical Education is an international peer-reviewed journal, which
seeks manuscripts that critically examine contemporary education contexts and practices.
Critical Education is interested in theoretical and empirical research as well as
articles that advance educational practices that challenge the existing state of
affairs in society, schools, and informal education.
An early expression of interest and a 250-500 word abstract is
preferred by December 31, 2013. Please address correspondence to drford@syr.edu and include "Critical Education"
