WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2014 INSURRECTIONIST PEDAGOGIES AND THE PURSUIT OF DANGEROUS CITIZENSHIP PROFESSOR E.WAYNE ROSS University of British Columbia—Vanouver This lecture will explore imaginaries that might serve as the basis for the creation of pedagogies of dangerous citizenship. Contemporary conditions demand an anti- oppressive citizenship education, one that takes seriously social and economic inequalities and oppression that result from neoliberal capitalism. The pedagogical power of dangerous citizenship, resides in its capacity to encourage us to challenge the implications of own work; to envision an education that is free and democratic to the core; and to interrogate and uncover our own well-intentioned complicity in oppressive educational and cultural practices. Professor Ross has published more than 20 books and over 200 articles, book chapters, essays, and reviews on curriculum studies, social studies education, teacher education, and critical pedagogy. He teaches and writes about the politics of curriculum, critical pedagogy, social studies education, and academic labor. In recent years, Dr. Ross’ principal research interests have been the influence of the educational standards and high-stakes testing movements on curriculum and teaching. His aim has been to develop a radical critique of schooling as social control and a collection of strategies described as dangerous citizenship that can be used disrupt and resist the conformative, antidemocratic, anti-collective, and oppressive potentialities of schooling.
