"'Are We Not What We Seem?': Infrapolitical Maneuvers in the Era of College and Career Readiness"

4/21/2020

 
Miguel Abad is sole author of a new article in the April issue of Anthropology and Education Quarterly.

​The title of the article is "'Are We Not What We Seem?': Infrapolitical Maneuvers in the Era of College and Career Readiness."

​Abad is a fifth-year doctoral student specializing in Educational Policy and Social Context. His research interests encompass out-of-school time, community-based youth organizations, character education, college and career readiness, political economy of education, politics of diversity, Black studies, political and social theory, ethnography, and participatory action research (PAR). He is advised by Professor Gilberto Conchas.

​Abstract
Picture
This article explores the ways in which social scaffolding and cultural brokering processes within educational spaces engender ideological tensions among predominantly Latinx youth participants and educators within a college and career readiness organization. Based upon data from an 18‐month ethnography, they engaged in forms of resistance through infrapolitics. Youth and educators simultaneously critiqued and negotiated the contradictions that emerge from engaging with the symbolic demands associated with respectability and citizenship within the United States.
