Tornando-se política não Antropoceno

This paper takes up the theme of “Education Policy and Methodology in a Post-truth Era” by emplacing policy within the contemporary condition of the Anthropocene. The conditions of the Anthropocene demand a radical reconfiguring of policy as an apparatus for governmentality, and therefore of methodology. I intraject a potential ethical posture befitting such a reimagined becoming-policy and reconceptualized environment. The Anthropocene serves as both context and concept as the “Age of Humankind” in need of speculative and radical building and making. Drawing on prior critical policy analyses of higher education policy affecting undocumented students, I proffer plausible postures in thinking education policy and methodology that engage the contemporary moment of both “post-truth” and the Anthropocene.En este artículo se retoma el tema de la “Política de Educación y Metodología en la era posverdad” y las posiciones políticas dentro de la condición contemporánea del Antropoceno. Las condiciones de la Antropoceno exigen reconfiguración radical un aparato de la política es gubernamentalidad, y de la metodología por lo tanto. El Antropoceno sirve tanto el contexto y el concepto de la “Edad de la Humanidad” en la necesidad de la creación de radicales y especulativas y decisiones. Basándose en análisis previos de política críticos de la política de educación superior que afectan a los estudiantes indocumentados, profiero posturas plausibles en la política de educación y el pensamiento Que metodología de involucrar al momento contemporáneo de ambos “posverdad” y el Antropoceno.Este artigo retoma o tema “Política e Metodologia da Educação em uma Era Pós-Verdade” e posiciona a política dentro da condição contemporânea do Antropoceno. As condições do Antropoceno exigem uma reconfiguração radical da política como um aparato de governamentalidade e, portanto, de uma metodologia. Entrego-me a uma postura ética potencial condizente com um ambiente reformista e reconceituado reinventado. O Antropoceno serve tanto como contexto como conceito como a “Era da Humanidade,” necessitando de construção e feitura especulativa e radical. Baseando-me em análises políticas críticas anteriores sobre políticas de educação superior que afetam estudantes indocumentados, profiro posturas plausíveis em pensar políticas e metodologias educacionais que envolvam o ímpeto da “pós-verdad” e do Antropoceno

Disrupting the Ethical Imperatives of “Junior” Critical Qualitative Scholars in the Era of Conservative Modernization

In this article, we wrestle with the core issue of how early career researchers translate central tenets and core concepts of critical theory and critical methodology into their research practice. By way of creative representation, we draw from bell hooks and Cornel West’s (1991) written rendition of their verbal dialogue in Breaking Bread: Insurgent Black Intellectual Life. Their hope was to offer the book in a dialogic format in such a way that mirrored the synergy in their verbal discussions as friends and intellectual colleagues. In a similar vein, we hope to share with readers the synergy and depth of the narratives that have transpired during our ongoing discussions on the important topic of critical praxis as part of a collaborative research group called the Disruptive Dialogue Project (Gildersleeve, Kuntz, Pasque & Carducci, 2010; Kuntz, Pasque, Carducci, & Gildersleeve, 2009).Yeshttps://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/manuscript-submission-guideline

Producing (im)Possible Peoples: Policy Discourse Analysis, In-state Resident Tuition, and Undocumented Students in American Higher Education

This paper examines 12 states’ statutes that extend in-state resident tuition for undocumented students, illustrating their ambiguities and contradictions as they produce the subject in these on-going policy debates. This study asks and answers the question:  “How are students' identities produced in ISRT policy?” At stake in this question are the discursive opportunities made available for enabling and/or constraining higher education opportunity, particularly for undocumented students. Findings point to a contradictory set of identities simultaneously made possible and impossible for undocumented students pursuing American higher education. &nbsp

The Disruptive Dialogue Project: Crafting Critical Space in Higher Education

The Disruptive Dialogue Project (DDP) is a dialogic network of education scholars committed to fostering conversations that trouble normative practices of critical qualitative scholarship, pedagogy, and methodology, within an interstice of the contemporary educational inquiry landscape. In this essay, we describe the origins of the DDP as well as present a conceptual framework of the Project based on four spatial understandings of our disruptive activity (i.e., the DDP space as energy, alternative, critique, and possibility). Building on this conceptual model, we provide an overview two specific strategies / spaces the DDP intentionally cultivates as means of transformation and resilience – “disruptive” academic conference symposia and bi-weekly DDP teleconferences –and discuss the role these activities play in the development of our critical colleagueship. Our intent in sharing the DDP narrative is not to promote imitation of our project, but rather to encourage other critical scholars to create, seek out, produce and pull apart interstices of their own; spaces that disrupt the hegemonic narratives of educational research and faculty life
