Faculty/Staff Detail

Brian Barrett, Foundations and Social Advocacy, served as a co-organizer of the Third International Social Realism Symposium hosted at Jesus College, University of Cambridge, from June 29 to July 1. The symposium attracted a record number of researchers and teachers to address educational questions by drawing significantly on social realism, which explores the social conditions of knowledge production and exchange as well as its structuring in the curriculum.

Barrett and Anne Burns Thomas, Foundations and Social Advocacy Department, presented their paper titled “Flipping the Script: Exploring the Impact of Curriculum Modules on Access to Knowledge and Teacher Professionalism,” which also was co-authored by Maria Timberlake, Foundations and Social Advocacy, at the conference in Cambridge.
