The "school-to-prison pipeline," a fast-growing and alarming development, comprises a range of circumstances whereby "children are funneled out of public schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems." Scholars, educators, parents, students, and organizers across the country have pointed to this shocking trend, insisting that it be identified and understood--and that it be addressed as an urgent matter by the larger community. This new volume from the Harvard Educational Review features essays from scholars, educators, students, and community activists who are working to disrupt, reverse, and redirect the pipeline. Alongside these authors are contributions from the people most affected: youth and adults who have been incarcerated, or whose lives have been shaped by the school-to-prison pipeline. Their writings add to the book's comprehensive portrait of how our education and justice systems function--and how they fail to serve the interests of many young people. A trenchant and wide-ranging look at this alarming national trend, Disrupting the School-to-Prison Pipeline is unsparing in its account of the problem while pointing in the direction of meaningful and much-needed reforms. "The national crisis posed by the school-to-prison pipeline calls on us to go beyond conventional policy, funding, leadership, and action. As this book clearly shows, disrupting the pipeline from end to end will require a complete reorientation of our values, systems, and practices, so as to construct new educational rights and opportunities for young people." -- Maisie Chin, executive director/cofounder, Community Asset Development Redefining Education (CADRE) "In an era dominated by a focus on academic accountability, it is critical to understand that academic engagement and school discipline cannot be disentangled. Punitive and exclusionary practices in our schools and juvenile justice system threaten the life chances of too many American children and youth, especially those who have been historically marginalized. This book shines a light on the threats posed by the school-to-prison pipeline, the experiences of those who have been its victims, and strategies for disrupting and deconstructing that pipeline." -- Russ Skiba, director, The Equity Project, Indiana University Contributors include Starcia Ague, Kathy Boudin, Kathleen B.

From Dayton, Ohio, to Barcelona, Spain, this collection of essays from the Harvard Educational Review carries readers to places where people have first imagined - and then organised - their own educational responses to dehumanizing practices and conditions. Within a context of continued calls for education ""reform"", this volume seeks to inspire a collective imagination for radical alternatives.

"Today, multicultural education is understood as both an idea and a process. Educators endorse the idea of multicultural education by examining language, race, culture, and power and fostering awareness of and respect for differences, which is necessary for the creation of a more just and equitable society. Moreover, they enact the process of multicultural education by teaching for social justice, honoring students' experiences, and committing to a stance of critical awareness and inquiry. In this volume, we present a body of knowledge that has influenced how educators think and teach. We hope these texts will now inspire innovation and a renewed commitment to what education ought to be in a multicultural world." --from the editors' introduction This stimulating book provides a thorough overview of multicultural education in the United States. In influential and often groundbreaking articles from the Harvard Educational Review, the volume surveys multicultural education's founding arguments and principles, describes its subsequent evolution, and looks toward its future role and impact. Comprised of articles by leading proponents of multicultural education, the book explores a complex and highly influential movement while offering direction and inspiration for the future.

Examines a wide range of Indigenous cultures and educational settings, including Native American, Haitian, Mexican, African, and Australian.

This timely book examines the complex and varied relations between educational institutions and societies at war. Drawn from the pages of the Harvard Educational Review, the essays provide multiple perspectives on how educational institutions support and oppose wartime efforts. As the editors of the volume note, the book reveals how people swept up in wars "reconsider and reshape education to reflect or resist the commitments, ideals, structures, and effects of wartime. Constituents use educational institutions to disseminate and reproduce dominant ideologies or to empower and inspire those marginalized; or to simultaneously promote both oppression and liberation." The first half of the book explores how students, educators, and communities work within established educational systems to reinforce existing conditions or to promote change. By working through such institutions, these individual sand groups use education to enact, transmit, or resist ideologies. The book's second half looks at how students, educators, and communities work around or beyond existing school systems to promote political and social transformation and to create new educational opportunities in response to conflict. These practices include efforts to create new educational systems featuring alternative curricula, broader access, and improved educational equity. A wide-ranging volume that addresses issues of vital importance within the United States and throughout the world, Education and War fills a crucial void in our understanding of education and its critical role in society.
