Today, Gretchen (my boss, PhD anthro) gave me a ton of great advice...
-Connect with Domenic Vitiello
-RE: AUNI Evaluation
- Quantity (number of schools AUNI operates in) vs Quality (making firm connections in a limited number of schools); how well are you serving your students?
- Systemic Inequality (of opportunities)
- Michael Appel
- AUNI is limited by organizational capacity: permission from school, staffing, resources (
-Neoliberalism:
- critiques of neoliberalism?
-
-Privatizing Education
- look at outsourcing of nutrition education in Philadelphia
-
- ethnography of power, poverty, politics
-Empowerment
- is it 1) meaningful?
- is it 2) couched in neoliberalism:
-does it put change in hands of individual?
-does it make meaning and change part of the discussion?
- does it just give info and say, bea agents of change
- or does it do something to help change the system to be agents of change; help people use their knowledge
- there is this disconnect between theory and process!
