David Clandfield, Bruce Curtis, Grace-Edward Galabuzi, Alison Gaymes San Vicente, David Livingstone and Harry Smaller, Restacking the Deck: Streaming by Class, Race and Gender in Ontario Schools
Schools reproduce, and in many ways create inequality, rather than being the engines of equality that progressive educators hope for. This fact has been the subject of much academic work and the reason for a good deal of activism around schooling.

But understanding the specific practices th…

Approaches to Poverty in the Toronto School Board, 1970–1990: No Shallow Roots
This paper explores educational change in the Toronto school board between 1970 and 1990, a period that saw an intense focus on improving the education of inner city students. Based on interviews with key change agents, it argues that a social movement was key to the changes that were experienced. The ideas about education and the relationships that brought some coherence to the movement are illustrated and linked to educational change

This paper explores how the women's movement changed schooling in Vancouver in the 1970s, using a framework based on the idea of building civic capacity. The movement arose from a global politics, coales…

The Women's Movement in Canadian and Australian Education: From liberation and sexism to boys and social justice
This article provides a comparative analysis of the ways in which the women's movement was able to effect change in educational policy and practice in Australia and Canada between 1970 and 2000, drawing on interviews and document analysis in both countries. While the movement in both countries drew on similar international texts and conversations, it had more sustained state support in education in Australia. Despite the different degrees of inst…
Creating School Choice: The Politics of Curriculum, Equity and Teachers' Work
This article examines the dilemmas of producing difference in the public school system by focusing on one fine arts school that was designated as a school of choice in its district. Limits to how much difference could be achieved in the school were determined by complex district politics, in which the market played only a small part. Teachers' views of examinations and curriculum, decisions about admission and public relations policies, and inter…
