Construyendo Pedagogías de la Solidaridad Creativa
El autor considera el significando de la solidaridad, como una especie de práctica pedagógica. Tomando una foto de su niñez como punto de partida, sugiere que el llamado a la solidaridad funciona como un gancho subjetivo. Sin embargo, la práctica solidaria debería intentar desenganchar a los sujetos, creando espacios y oportunidades para ser otres. Para esto, es necesario construir una pedagogía de la solidaridad creativa basada en la producci…
“Relinking Back to Community”
We begin this kitchen-table talk with personal offerings that reflect our connection to—and positioning within—this work. Drawing on our personal experiences, our commitments, and our histories, we discuss the importance of reclaiming and recovering indigenous ways of knowing and being, the importance and centrality of community, and the possibilities of educational settings—even while operating as colonial enterprises—as a site for connection. W…

The paper…

The Mall” and “the Plant”
This article explores how conceptions of choice and visions of the future are constructed within the context of specialized arts programs in two Canadian public high schools. The authors consider how discourses of the arts are implicated in the way that possible futures are envisioned differently, delimiting the range of choices available to students. Their analysis shows how choices are unequally distributed and possible futures unequally constr…
The Sense of Entitlement
The first time Cameron visited the Toronto Creative and Performing Arts School (CAPA), he fell in love. It was the song ‘Jellicle Cats’ from his favourite musical that enamoured him to the idea of attending a specialised arts high school. Star-struck with the students’ performance, he began to see himself as one of them. ‘They were so amazing! I was in awe’. He thought, ‘to be in that group one day would be incredible’. At that moment, Cameron fe…
What Is an Elite Boarding School?
This article brings attention to the rarefied world of elite boarding schools. Despite their reputation for excellence, these unique educational institutions remain largely outside the gaze of educational researchers and the scope of public debates about education. One reason for this absence is a lack of knowledge about what exactly defines an elite boarding school and the characteristics that stand them apart from other schools in significant w…
