The Politics of Educational Policy: Urban School Reform in Unsettling Times.
Carlson, Dennis
Educational Policy, v7 n2 p149-65 Jun 1993
Over the past several decades, a hegemonic conservative discourse has constructed urban school reform issues around a "basic skills" curriculum model that has helped structure class, race, and gender inequalities. This article discusses some possible organizing principles for a counterhegemonic, democratic-progressive policy discourse. The contributions and limitations of recent liberal education discourse are discussed. (47 references) (MLH)
