Philosophy of Education as \u201cPre Qualitative\u201d Educational Research<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Abstract:
\nThis talk will be based on a forthcoming chapter in an edited\u00a0book titled\u00a0The Relationship and Need of Philosophy and History of Education<\/i>\u00a0(Rowman and Littlefield, 2017), which includes a critical response by Patti Lather. My argument begins with a descriptive sense of the dire straits of humanistic research in the field of education today and suggests that the bulk of the\u00a0historical blame is best placed on John Dewey’s scientific conception of the field in the late 1900s. I then work to present a\u00a0constructive role for philosophy inspired by, yet critical of, the “post-qualitiative” turn in educational research advocated by Elizabeth Adams St. Pierre, where philosophy (and history) of education becomes a “pre-qualitative” form of educational research. I end by suggesting that the Deweyan Era of the academic field of education within the University may need to end, bringing with it a realignment of the predominance of the social sciences as the\u00a0modus operandi<\/i>\u00a0of educational research.<\/p>\n

On Cleaning: Student Activism in the Corporate and Imperial University<\/em><\/h1>\n
\n

Abstract:
\n<\/span>In the past year, over 100 university campuses in the United States and elsewhere have witnessed student protest, specifically against institutionalized racism and in response to symptoms of the university\u2019s neoliberal, capitalist and imperial culture. This article outlines the emergence and confluence of the corporate and imperial university, producing and reproducing the violence of consumer culture, academic containment, and institutional control. This case study of a small, elite, liberal arts college in the United States will unravel the messiness of the contact zone where university administration and student protest meet, and its meanings for those of us who find ourselves ever-contained within spaces of higher education. Through critical discourse analysis and participant observation, I provide some preliminary mapping of how the university sanitizes\u2014how it keeps itself \u2018clean\u2019\u2014and the different ways this is interpreted, confirmed, and resisted by its campus community. Queer and feminist readings of pollution, dirt, and bacteria contextualize the university\u2019s response to student activism, and daily operation, in the politics of containment and cleanliness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
