Asian Americans, the Model Minority Narrative, and Perspectives on School Integration
Citizenship Development and the Market’s Impact: Examining Democratic Learning in Charter Schools in Two Regions
The marketization of U.S. schools has increasingly complicated and even undermined the democratic aims of education, causing many to argue that democratic and market ideologies are fundamentally opposed. This meta-ethnographic study uses conceptual tools from democratic theory and the research on civic education to investigate how leaders in one market-based organization—charter schools—grapple with tensions between the market and democracy in fo…
Building Civic Capacity: The History and Landscape of NYC Integration Activism, 2012–2021
Background: New York City is one of the most segregated school districts in the country, but between 2012 and 2021, school integration moved from a marginal to a central education policy. Existing narratives have emphasized the efforts of parents and school and political leaders, with less attention given to the significance of citywide coalitions of activists, especially youth activists. Purpose: We examine how grassroots activists contributed t…
More of the diversity aspect and less of the desegregation aspect’: Asian Americans and desegregation in metropolitan Hartford
Little research examines the experiences and perspectives of Asian American parents who participate in K–12 desegregation efforts, such as magnet schools. Conceptually framed by research on Asian American racialization, this qualitative case study investigates 10 Asian American parents in metropolitan Hartford, Connecticut; and the motivations underpinning their decisions to choose magnet schools for their children. I find that most parents empha…
E-Advocacy in the Information Market: How Social Media Platforms Distribute Evidence on Charter Schools
A growing body of research investigates how intermediary organizations (IOs) and their networks navigate, promote, and produce evidence on social media. To date, scholars have underexplored blogs, an important milieu in which IOs produce and disseminate information. In this analysis, we broaden the emerging scholarship on evidence brokering by examining how IOs and individual and independent bloggers broker knowledge via education policy blogs on…
“Doing what it takes to keep the school open”: The philanthropic networks of progressive charter schools
Researchers have demonstrated how venture philanthropic networks advance the growth of charter schools underpinned by market tenets. However, little remains known about how progressive charter schools mobilize financial support when most funding from philanthropic networks flows to market-oriented charters. This qualitative study examines how three progressive charter schools in New York City mobilized financial support, the extent to which chart…
A Neoliberal Grammar of Schooling? How a Progressive Charter School Moved toward Market Values
Although initially ideologically diverse, the charter school movement has become increasingly aligned with neoliberal ideology, which assumes that public services, including education, are improved through market forces, such as accountability, competition, efficiency, and managerialism. Yet little is known about how leaders of ideologically progressive charter schools sustain their founding pedagogical and political missions amid widespread mark…
Urban Regimes, Intermediary Organization Networks, and Research Use: Patterns Across Three School Districts
Recent advances in conceptualizing structures of influence in education policymaking have emphasized the role of nongovernmental actors working in networks to promote their agendas. These useful in
