McKeon, Kerry – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2023
Through discourse analysis, this article explores strategies used in the speeches and public statements of former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos (2017-2020), as she employed marketing tactics in service of a neoliberal educational agenda.

Cabalin, Cristian; Saldaña, Magdalena; Fernández, María Beatriz – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2023
School choice is a controversial issue in the public discussion of education. In Chile, the new School Admission System (SAE) was recently implemented to gradually reverse the country's high educational segregation. However, this system is facing strong opposition. Voucher and free choice promoters have opposed SAE because they claim it violates…

Gilbertson, Amanda; Dey, Joyeeta – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2023
Efforts to desegregate schools have consistently been undermined by privileged parents finding ways to avoid undesirable schools. In some contexts, a more complex picture is emerging, where 'progressive' privileged parents choose 'diverse' schools but still reproduce segregation. We demonstrate how the desegregation aims of an Indian education…

Despite the growing presence and visibility of paleoconservative critique of international curricula such as the IB, little scholarly attention has been invested in discerning how the rise of paleoconservative thought in mainstream politics has shaped or even redirected the IB's growth in the United States. This study strives to address this gap…

Knight-Abowitz, Kathleen; Stitzlein, Sarah – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2022
In this study, we employ discourse analysis of US gubernatorial political advertisements to analyze the discursive struggles over the purposes of public schools. The advertisements are analyzed to demonstrate how rhetoric works to shape consent for dominant, human capital views regarding schooling's purposes, as well as to communicate alternative…

Teague, Laura – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2022
Drawing upon Judith Butler's conceptualisation of performativity and subjectification, this article explores the effects of different kinds of counter political action to disrupt exclusionary school practices that further marginalise children who are, often already, on the edges of school life. Firstly, tracing the impossibilities sometimes…

Wei, Wei – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2022
There has been a global convergence of policies attempting to standardize the practices and competencies of school leaders. This policy convergence highlights a similar set of leadership practices that are expected for effective school leaders, and contributes to the constitution of a global dominant discourse on school leadership. This study is a…

This paper examines the relationship between the politics of Higher Education access pertaining to longstanding practices of patrimonial authoritarian politics and the narration of collective trauma. Building on an empirical study of Syrian HE during war, we suggest that a "narrative disjuncture" within HEIs has a damaging impact not…

Rothmüller, Barbara – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2018
Recent integration discourses in Europe locate problems of equality, gender, and sexuality among migrant youth. Educating and testing the values of future citizens is supposed to guarantee their conformity with 'western' and 'modern' values. By analyzing educational reform discourses in multicultural Luxembourg, the paper aims to challenge these…

Morley, Louise; Lund, Rebecca W. B. – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2021
Women leaders are frequently treated as one class -- a homogenised group with essentialised skills and competencies in binary relationship to male leaders. We explore how feminist ways of knowing gender and leadership, and circulations of affects, shape women's diverse leadership practices and identities within the neoliberal, and neuroliberal…

Xu, Shuqin – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2018
Constructing national identity with collective memory based on traditional culture has long been a policy and research concern. China's recent revival of its traditional culture, previously denounced by the Communist Party of China (CPC), has caused diverse academic concerns. Yet few studies have addressed how the CPC-led state interacts with…
