CfP: Care as a Humanizing Act in Education
Call for Papers/Projects (UPDATED 12-6-2016)
Care as a Humanizing Act in Education
#CritEdPol, Swarthmore College’s Journal of Critical Education Policy Studies, announces an open call for undergraduate papers/projects for our next issue. The theme for the issue is: care mobilized as a necessary and humanizing act within education policy. In popular discourse on education, care has been seen as the relationship between teachers and students and often revolves around a self-sacrificing teacher, as has been depicted in films like Freedom Writers and Stand and Deliver. Through this issue of #CritEdPol we seek to problematize and extend that definition, expanding it to include systemic, institutional, and personal relationships in classrooms, schools, and communities. What, we ask, does care look like in education policy? How has care been mobilized? And in what ways can care be mobilized as a part of a politics of humanization? This issue invites critical perspectives on care that can be expressed through a traditional paper or other mixed media formats, including video, photo essay, or podcasts.
