The Cultural Images of Public Schooling and the Emergence of Plurality in Research
In this experimental article, the author initiates a methodological move toward the aesthetic in educational research. In doing so, he uncovers the hidden dynamics of power in the politics of knowledge. By treating the current commonsense images of public schooling as part of an emerging pluralism, he argues for a conception of aesthetics that is anchored in everyday cultural practices. Viewing public schooling as both a site of theoretical/metho…
Corporate Capitalism and Political Agency: A Dialogue with Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale and Peter McLaren
This article both responds to the criticisms of some postmodern scholarship raised by Scatamburlo-D'Annibale and McLaren and suggests the basis for new coalitions to interrupt global corporate greed. The author strives to work within the perspective advanced by these authors in that he exposes the contradictions of corporate capital illuminated by the Enron crisis. Rather than looking to the working classes, who have been largely displaced result…
The New Discourses on Educational Leadership: An Introduction
In Pursuit of the Good Life: High School Students' Constructions of Morality and the Implications for Educational Leadership
In this interpretative study, the authors analyze the construction of three moral values in the context of inner-city high schools experiencing widespread poverty and racism. These values are trust, respect, and care. The authors demonstrate how the processes of social and discursive construction of morality differentially influence lived moral experiences for African American high school students from similar socioeconomic backgrounds. Differenc…
Implementing School Restructuring in the Inner City
Moral Leadership Discourses in Urban School Settings: The Multiple Influences of Social Context
This collaborative research project began with two assumptions: (a) that the contradictions and differences within urban contexts create an environment in which moral practices are neither self-evident nor frequently actualized and (b) that leadership as primarily relational allows for the ongoing social construction of moral practices among urban educators. Thus, the study sought not only to understand constraints on moral practices within urban…

Student Voice as Agency: Resistance and Accommodation in Inner-City Schools
In this article we describe the results of a comparative case study of two inner-city high schools located in the southeastern United States. One school, a citywide school with high admission standards, enrolls an all-African American lower-to-middle-class population. The other school enrolls a more ethnically and racially diverse population of students from a single lower-class neighborhood. Using Grossberg's notion of identity politics, we desc…
Revolutionary Praxis: Toward a Pedagogy of Resistance and Transformation
Identity Politics and Student Resistance to Inner-City Public Schooling
Investigating the conditions that foster organized expressions of power and the circumstances that students exploit to engage in political, collective forms of resistance warrants researchers' serious attention. Inner-city schools are uniquely situated as changing demographics and global and national migration continue to reconstruct schools as host sites of identity politics. In this article, the authors investigate the sites of inner-city schoo…
Corporate Ideology and the Politics of Entrepreneurism in New Orleans
In this article, Louis F. Miron presents a case study of the effects of local ideology and culture on corporate‐lead progrowth movements in New Orleans. Miron borrows from critical theory to illustrate how “hegemonic” ideologies such as economic growth may be resisted in local settings. The findings suggest that economic structural relations do not predetermine the course of human agency, and that the success of progrowth movements is contingent …
Equity, adequacy and educational need: The courts and urban school finance
Nearly two decades following the landmark Rodriguez decision in 1973, plaintiffs arguing on behalf of poor urban school districts have found an opening for financial redress. The supreme courts in several states, including New Jersey, Texas and Kentucky, have ruled in the last couple of years that all students are entitled to a ‘minimally adequate’ education. In Abbott v. Burke, in particular, the New Jersey court made reference to the special ne…
