Abstract

This handbook examines key issues and debates, theories and practices in the context of culture studies in education. It brings together a multiplicity of voices in a collective and converging manner that ask critical questions about the meanings of diverse forms of Cultural Studies in Education. Examining case studies of individuals, groups, collectives and social institutions, this handbook focuses on Cultural Studies in Education as theorized and analyzed from a heterogeneity of vantage points and its practical role and impact in challenging, rupturing, subverting, and changing dominant socio-economic, political, and cultural forces and structures that reproduce normalizing power relations that work to maintain injustice and inequity in various educational contexts.

Abstract

Erklärungen zum Bildungserfolg von Schüler(inne)n mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland beziehen sich hauptsächlich auf Unterschiede in der Verfügbarkeit von ökonomischem, sozialem und kulturellem Kapital und der daraus resultierenden Benachteiligung von Migrantenfamilien. Die Bildungsstatistik zeigt jedoch erhebliche ethnische Unterschiede: Während Schüler(innen) mit türkischer Herkunft einen vergleichsweise geringen Bildungserfolg haben, ist der der Schüler(innen) vietnamesischer Herkunft sogar noch höher als der der deutschen Referenzpopulation. Dieser Befund lässt an der Allgemeingültigkeit einer Reihe zentraler Annahmen der empirischen Bildungsforschung für die Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit zweifeln. Die vorliegende Untersuchung richtet den Blick nun auf die bildungssprachlichen Deutschfähigkeiten von Schüler(inne)n als einen weiteren Erklärungsfaktor. Der Inhalt Ethnische Bildungsungleichheit Humankapitalinvestition in Migrantenfamilien Bildungssprachliche Deutschfähigkeiten Die Zielgruppen Studierende, Lehrende und Forschende der Erziehungswissenschaft, Soziologie, Empirischen Bildungsforschung und Soziolinguistik Der Autor Birger Schnoor ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter im Projekt „Mehrsprachigkeitsentwicklung im Zeitverlauf (MEZ)“ am Institut für Interkulturelle und International vergleichende Erziehungswissenschaft an der Universität Hamburg.

Abstract

This book offers unique insights into elite Nigerian parents’ engagement with, and use of, the international secondary education market as they attempt to retain their social standing - via their children - under today’s shifting global conditions. Throughout, the book tackles two important, albeit uncomfortable questions: Why does whiteness hold the highest possible value in postcolonial societies such as Nigeria? And, more importantly, why do black people accept the hegemonic discourse that West/white is best? Combining the theoretical frameworks of Pierre Bourdieu and Frantz Fanon, the book reveals ‘Whiteness’ as a highly valuable form of cultural and symbolic capital that plays a crucial role in the formation of, and struggle for, elite status and distinction in modern-day Nigeria. Drawing on rare qualitative data sets along with postcolonial literatures, the book reveals how British whiteness is used by those working at and for British private schools in Nigeria (BPS-NIG) as an informal but powerful mechanism of ‘quality’ control, and in constructing the image of ‘world-class’ educational establishments.

Abstract

This book presents a collection of ethnomathematical studies of diverse mathematical practices in Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, rural and urban communities in Brazil. Ethnomathematics as a research program aims to investigate the interrelationships of local mathematical knowledge sources with broader universal forms of mathematics to understand ideas, procedures, and practices found in distinct cultural groups. Based on this approach, the studies brought together in this volume show how this research program is applied and practiced in a culturally diverse country such as Brazil, where African, indigenous and European cultures have generated different forms of mathematical practice. These studies present ethnomathematics in action, as a tool to connect the study of mathematics with the students’ real life experiences, foster critical thinking and develop a mathematics curriculum which incorporates contributions from different cultural groups to enrich mathematical knowledge. By doing so, this volume shows how ethnomathematics can contribute in practice to the development of a decolonial mathematics education. Ethnomathematics in Action: Mathematical Practices in Brazilian Indigenous, Urban and Afro Communities will be of interest to educators and educational researchers looking for innovative approaches to develop a more inclusive, democratic, critical, multicultural and multiethnic mathematics education. .

Abstract

This book presents a comparative study of the history and development of indigenous and ethnic higher education in the US and China. The author focuses on institutions serving American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIANs) and Chinese Ethnic Minorities (CEMs), such as Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in the US and Ethnic Minority Serving Institutions (EMSIs) in China. Chapters center voices within indigenous and ethnic education, including experts, senior administrators, and faculty members as well as AIAN tribal leaders and activists. These voices enrich the study and provide context to explore the issues and challenges surrounding ethnic and minority-serving higher education institutions today. Finally, the author addresses strategies and practices for the future which will better serve AIAN and CEM students and communities.

Abstract

“Deeply thoughtful, richly crafted, this book untangles the racial privileging and aesthetic hierarchy in music education. It explores diaspora as a paradigm shift for understanding multiculturalism as an indeterminate, unfinished project, rather than a final emancipation. Gustafson demonstrates eloquently that the colonial logic of comparison based on the stubborn categories of race, nation, and ethnicity needs to be fundamentally challenged in music education. A major breakthrough, this book should be read again and again by students, educators, and researchers in music and multicultural education.” —Jinting Wu, Assistant Professor of Educational Culture, Policy and Society, Graduate School of Education, The State University of New York at Buffalo, USA “Documenting the racial politics informing multicultural music education as it has been widely conceptualized and practiced, this book offers a fresh and potentially more equitable way to think about people, music, and music making. This timely and thoughtful book is a must-read for all music teachers and researchers.” —Julia Eklund Koza, Professor Emeritus, Department of Curriculum and Instruction and the School of Music, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. This book challenges simplified claims of racial, national, and ethnic belonging in music education by presenting diaspora as a new paradigm for teaching music, departing from the standard multicultural guides and offering the idea of unfinished identities for musical creations. While multiculturalism—the term most commonly used in music education—had promised a theoretical framework that puts classical, folk, and popular music around the world on equal footing, it has perpetuated the values of Western aesthetics and their singular historical development. Breaking away from this standard, the book illuminates a diasporic web of music’s historical pathways, avoiding the fragmentation of music by categories of presumed origins whether racial, ethnic, or national. Ruth Iana Gustafson is an independent scholar of music education. She has taught numerous education courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. She is the author of Race and Curriculum: Music in Childhood Education (2009), as well as many journal articles on the history of music education in the United States.

Abstract

This Handbook is a much needed international reference work, written by leading writers in the field of global citizenship and education. It is based on the most recent research and practice from across the world, with the 'Geographically-Based Overviews' section providing summaries of global citizenship and education provided for Southern Africa, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Latin America, and East and South East Asia. The Handbook discusses, in the 'Key Ideologies' section, the philosophies that influence the meaning of global citizenship and education, including neo-liberalism and global capitalism; nationalism and internationalism; and issues of post-colonialism, indigeneity, and transnationalism. Next, the 'Key Concepts' section explores the ideas that underpin debates about global citizenship and education, with particular attention paid to issues of justice, equity, diversity, identity, and sustainable development. With these key concepts in place, the 'Principal Perspectives and Contexts' section turns to exploring global citizenship and education from a wide variety of viewpoints, including economic, political, cultural, moral, environmental, spiritual and religious, as well as taking into consideration issues of ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and social class. Finally, the 'Key Issues in the Teaching of Global Citizenship' section discusses how education can be provided through school subjects and study abroad programmes, as well as through other means including social media and online assessment, and political activism. This Handbook will be vital reading for academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates in the fields of sociology and education, particularly those with an interest in comparative studies.

Abstract

This book examines how previously excluded high-achieving, low-income students are faring socially and academically at an Ivy League college in New England. In the past, research conducted on low-income students in elite schools focused mainly on the admissions process. As a result, there is a dearth of research on what happens to low-income students once they are admitted and attend classes. This book chronicles an ethnographic study of twenty low-income men and women in their senior year at Dartmouth College and follows up with them four and twelve years post-graduation. By helping to bring visibility and self-awareness to low-income students and expose class issues and struggles, the author hopes to encourage elite institutions to change their policies and practices to address the needs of these students. .
