Rhiannon Maton
Rhiannon Maton, Foundations and Social Advocacy Department, had a co-authored article, “Opposing Innovations: Race and Reform in the West Philadelphia Community Free School, 1969-1978,” published in the History of Education Quarterly. This piece examines competing conceptions of “innovation” at work in the creation and operation of the West Philadelphia Community Free School, 1969-1978. The article pays particular attention to the range of values and goals amongst stakeholders in the school's community/university/district partnership and argues that the burden of reconciling opposing innovations fell unevenly upon the teachers and community members.
