Underfunded, Misunderstood, and Underappreciated
Public colleges and universities are neither funded equitably nor perceived as being equal. This is especially true for those institutions serving urban populations, where the student bodies are understandably comprised of part-time, non-traditional, older, and first-generation students. In colleges of education, specifically, these graduate students are often full-time public-school teachers and administrators. This case study looks deep inside …
Only in New Orleans
With 2015 marking the 10th commemoration of Hurricane Katrina, education reform in New Orleans continues to garner substantial local, national, and international attention. Advocates and critics alike have continued to cite test scores, new school providers, and different theories of governance in making multiple arguments for and against how contemporary education policy is shaping public education and its role in the rebuilding of the city. Rat…
Ending a Nightmare, Beginning a Dream
This short piece provides a biographical insight into both the author's high expectations for (now President) Barack Obama and the fears, if not disappointments early into his Administration.

This article investigates the theoretical underpinnings of current accountability initiatives and draws upon extensive teacher interviews to reveal the practical aspects of accountability pressures in schools t…
Drowning the Crescent City
This article reviews secondary sources on the possible causes of the devastation in New Orleans resulting from Hurricane Katrina. These sources include newspaper accounts, radio and television interviews, government documents, and extensive historical chronicles of the aftermath of Katrina. The authors examine the consequences of policy action (or inaction) at all levels of government with respect to preparedness for evacuation. Using readily ava…
Critical Pedagogy in a Time of Uncertainty
Cross‐national contexts and social inequality in public schools, families and caring institutions
Constructing Cultural Citizenship
Liberal-Democratic Theory, Education, and the State
The disciplinary fields of political science and political philosophy deeply intertwine with educational theory, research, and practice. At least since Plato's Republic, these fields have offered many theoretical frameworks for analyzing what quality education entails. In the reviews that follow we examine recent scholarship on liberaldemocratic theory and liberalism in particular and how these perspectives facilitate new ways of thinking about e…
