Lambais, Guilherme; Okoye, Dozie; Sen, Shourya; Wantchekon, Leonard – Comparative Education Review, 2023
We review research on the history of education policy in colonial sub-Saharan Africa and among the African Diaspora in the United States and Brazil through a political economy lens. While the supply of education was severely constricted in all of these cases, demand for education remained strong. Thus, even as authoritarian states have attempted…

Leher, Roberto; Vittoria, Paolo – Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, 2015

Alves, Mário A.; Segatto, Catarina I.; Pineda, Andrea M. – British Educational Research Journal, 2021
This article shows the intersections of right-wing conservative discourse and evangelical religious proselytism in shaping right-wing populist discourse in Brazil and its implications on the education policy in the last decade.

Gil Prieto, Anna – Deafness & Education International, 2022
In 2002, the Brazilian deaf communities' struggles against academic failure and deaf student dropout won a linguistic policy: the LIBRAS Federal Law. This official law, regulated by Decree N.5626 in 2005, recognises LIBRAS as a national language and requires inclusive educational practices in a bilingual model in order to promote meaningful…

This article contributes to studies of race and class in English Language Teaching (ELT) by examining the local production of meanings in pedagogical encounters mediated by global textbooks, focusing on racialized occupational hierarchies in Brazil. We seek to locate these meanings in the interpretative frames provided by the experiences of two…

Stahelin, Nicolas – Journal of Environmental Education, 2017
In this case study of an environmental education (EE) program run in public schools of Rio de Janeiro, I use a constructivist spatial analytic to interrogate notions of space, place, and territory in critical EE practices. I examine the connections between socioenvironmental relations, counter-hegemonic political activity, and education by delving…

Towards a Political Ecology of Education: The Educational Politics of Scale in Southern Pará, Brazil

I present ethnographic data that I gathered during 17 months of fieldwork with the Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement (MST) in southeastern Pará, Brazil, to explore the MST's role in creating agroecological education opportunities. My analysis highlights three factors in…

Rindermann, Heiner; Flores-Mendoza, Carmen; Woodley, Michael A. – Intelligence, 2012
The social sciences have traditionally assumed that education is a major determinant of citizens' political orientations and behavior. Several studies have also shown that intelligence has an impact. According to a theory that conceptualizes intelligence as a "burgher" (middle-class, civil) phenomenon--intelligence should promote civil…

Tarlau, Rebecca – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2016
In 2014, Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the Twenty-first Century" rocked the economic and political world, with its argument that inequality is destined to increase; in the field of education, however, this book has been almost entirely ignored. I argue that Piketty's treatise is relevant to educational theories for three reasons: his…

The question of quality has become one of the most important framing factors in education and has been of growing interest to international organisations and national policymakers for decades.

Kohan, Walter Omar – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2011
This paper aims to argue how education might be considered and practised if not under the logic of the formation of childhood. As such, it puts into question the traditional way of considering children as representing adults' opportunity to impose their own ideals, and considering education to be an appropriate instrument for such an end. More…

Knijnik, Jorge – British Educational Research Journal, 2021
This article addresses key topics of academic freedom and critical pedagogy during a time of right-wing populist politics. The rise of the far-right politician Jair Bolsonaro to Brazil's presidency in 2019 was accompanied by a vow to eradicate any vestige of the ideas of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire from the country's schools. Bolsonaro's…

Carnoy, Martin; Froumin, Isak; Loyalka, Prashant K.; Tilak, Jandhyala B. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2014
Because higher education serves both public and private interests, the way it is conceived and financed is contested politically, appearing in different forms in different societies. What is public and private in education is a political--social construct, subject to various political forces, primarily interpreted through the prism of the state.…
