Positioning and Positioned Apart: Mathematics Learning as Becoming Undesirable
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v52 n2 p187-208 Jun 2021
Neoliberal logics, a form of racial capitalism, adjudicate children as smart, able, and desirable (or not) in schools. I explore the social processes and structural arrangements by which such logics position a Latina mathematics student as "undesirable" in her class. Drawing on data collected over a year, the analysis lays bare how undesirability is both a requirement of neoliberalism "and" an emergent position that she, her low-track class, and her school come to occupy.
