Introduction to "The Politics of Educational Reforms"
Apple, Michael W.
Educational Forum, v80 n2 p127-136 2016
It has become increasingly clear that education is a site of conflict. This essay examines the ideological positions that now dominate educational reforms and suggests a number of roles that critically democratic educators should play in confronting these reforms. It then details the contributions that the authors included in this special issue make toward understanding both the limits of current reforms and the possibilities of interrupting them.
