UW–Madison’s John Diamond and Linn Posey-Maddox have published a symposium on suburban schooling and race in the journal Equity and Excellence in Education.
Diamond is the Kellner Family Distinguished Chair in Urban Education and a professor in the School of Education’s Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis (ELPA), and Posey-Maddox is an associate professor in the School’s Department of Educational Policy Studies (EPS).
“Drawing from qualitative studies of suburban communities in the Midwestern U.S., these articles reveal the ways in which racial discourses and racialized patterns of inequality are taken up and contested by students, families, and educators in suburban schools,” explains the abstract for the symposium, which includes an introductory article authored by Diamond and Posey-Maddox, as well as three additional articles.
In addition to Diamond and Posey-Maddox, the following article authors have School of Education connections:
• Eujin Park, an EPS alumnus and postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy, authored the article, “Asian Americans in the Suburbs: Race, Class, and Korean Immigrant Parental Engagement”; and
• Van T. Lac, an ELPA alumnus and assistant professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, co-authored the article, “The Onus is on Us”: How White Suburban Teachers Learn about Racial Inequities in a Critical Book Study.”
• María D. Velázquez, a current doctoral student with EPS, also co-authored the article, “The Onus is on Us”: How White Suburban Teachers Learn about Racial Inequities in a Critical Book Study.”
