ABSTRACT:
Torin Monahan’s Globalization, technological change and public education frequently engages such definitional issues. Pace Foucault, Monahan redirects these questions from the typical fussing over performativity issues (How do we document whether, and how well, “this or that” works?) to how information technologies, and their accompanying ideologies and operational definitions, produce and reproduce social relations and networks of power. Although Monahan’s object is the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), a massive K–12 system with a very different history and demography than Puente Piedra, the external forces and internal logics reshaping public education are so broad, systematic and deep that his ideas and experiences are recognizable, across all levels of U.S. public education, in the first decade of the twenty–first century.
