About this listen

A compilation of leading education scholars on reenvisioning and creating equitable, inclusive, and democratic public schools

Against the backdrop of a rising tide of authoritarianism and white nationalism, a new and virulent strain of education politics has arisen, making public schools a primary site of political contention.

Educating in Dangerous Times raises the central question: How should we reenvision public schools and collectively create the public schools we need? The heart of the book centers on short, personal, and engaging chapters authored by leading education scholars who teach, study, and write about learning, school leadership, and the politics of education. Featured scholars include Antero Garcia (Stanford University), Julian Vasquez Heilig (Western Michigan University), Pedro Noguera (University of Southern California), Marcelle Haddix (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and many others.

Issues are wide ranging and stretch from supporting marginalized youth and the rise of authoritarianism to rethinking English language arts and mathematics instruction.

Each chapter reenvisions a different future beyond the constrictions and threats we are facing now and proposes a path forward for public schools in regard to the chapter focus.

This book illuminates the many educators, students, parents, and community leaders who desire more equitable, inclusive, and democratic schools—schools that affirm the value of each student and foster feelings of safety and belonging, and support development toward students' aspirations.
