Ethnography of a Neoliberal School: Building Cultures of Success (Routledge Studies in Education, Neoliberalism, and Marxism)

As a school ethnography, this book explores the controversial schooling practices and strategies embedded in charter school management organizations (CMOs), as well as how these practices influence teaching and learning, school leadership, teachers' professional identities, and students' understanding of success. By theorizing the common practices within the organization, Stahl connects current research in neoliberal governance, neoliberal structuring of educational policy, aspiration and social reproduction in schooling. Honing in on the discourse on education reform, Stahl demonstrates that a "unique blend" of neoliberalism and social justice values have permeated the CMO's institutional culture, promoting the belief that adopting corporate practices will fix America's schools and ensure equity of opportunity for all. The inclusion of institutional texts (emails, Blackberry messages, posters, and rubrics) balances the personal-subjective and inter-subjective to capture a blend of neoliberalism and social justice reframing.

Education & Teaching

Schools & Teaching

Working in a Survival School documents how global educational policies trickle down and influence school cultures and the lives of educators and educational leaders. The research traces the everyday work and experience of educators within an all-boys Catholic college suffering an unprecedented decline in enrolment numbers. In short, it was a school in 'survival mode.' Drawing on Dorothy Smith's scholarship on Institutional Ethnography, the authors document how the school operated and how its efforts to survive influenced the daily work of educators.Institutional ethnography reveals the school as a bounded space subject to a variety of competing local and translocal forces that are historical, political and economic in nature. Exploring the discursive and material effects of policy on both the work and identities of educators, the authors illustrate how the everyday experience of being an educator is shaped by marketisation and how leaders engage in stratagems to promote the school as a vehicle of educational excellence and quality to lure clientele. Building on existing scholarship in educational policy studies and new public management, Working in a Survival School considers how the global marketisation of education systems is experienced in one school fighting to survive. This book is of interest to educators, school leaders and academics interested in policy enactment.

Identity, Neoliberalism and Aspiration: Educating white working-class boys (Routledge Research in Educational Equality and Diversity)

In recent years there has been growing concern over the pervasive disparities in academic achievement that are highly influenced by ethnicity, class and gender. Specifically, within the neoliberal policy rhetoric, there has been concern over underachievement of working-class young males, specifically white working-class boys. The historic persistence of this pattern, and the ominous implication of these trends on the long-term life chances of white working-class boys, has led to a growing chorus that something must be done to intervene. This book provides an in-depth sociological study exploring the subjectivities within the neoliberal ideology of the school environment, in order to expand our understanding of white working-class disengagement with education. The chapters discuss how white working-class boys in three educational sites enact social and learner identities, focusing on the practices of 'meaning-making' and 'identity work' that the boys experienced, and the disjunctures and commonalities between them. The book presents an analysis of the varying tensions influencing the identity of each boy and the consequences of these pressures on their engagement with education. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theoretical tools and a model of egalitarian habitus, Identity, Neoliberalism and Aspiration: Educating white working-class boys will be of interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the field of sociology of education, and those from related disciplines studying class and gender.

Identity, Neoliberalism and Aspiration (Routledge Research in Educational Equality and Diversity)

Charter schools, as part of the education reform movement in the United States, represent a fascinating policy experiment. As a school ethnography, this book explores the controversial schooling practices and strategies embedded in Charter School Management Organizations (CMOs), as well as how these practices influence teaching and learning, school leadership, teachers' professional identities, and students' understanding of success. By theorizing the common practices within the organization, Stahl connects current research in neoliberal governance, neoliberal structuring of educational policy, aspiration and social reproduction in schooling. Stahl draws our attention to the role and impact of different types of corporate logic and through an ethnographic approach, confront the messy actualities of the corporatization of public education in the US.  The result is a fascinating and unsettling book which explores neoliberal investments, issues of social justice, and the active cultivation of neoliberal subjectivities.  This book will be of interest to scholars in:p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Calibri}p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Calibri; min-height: 13.0px}li.li1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Calibri}span.s1 {font: 10.0px Symbol}span.Apple-tab-span {white-space:pre}ul.ul1 {list-style-type: disc}Charter Schools and Charter School Management Organization CMOs)School Ethnography / Institutional Ethnography / Institutional TextsPhilanthropy and Urban Schooling'No excuses' SchoolingNeoliberal Educational Policy EnactmentCorporatization of SchoolsSocial Mobility in EducationNeoliberal SubjectivitiesUrban education (access, equity, effectiveness)
