McCarthy, Cameron McCarthy, Cameron Lubienski, Christopher Dhillon, Pradeep Greene, Jennifer Pino Yancovic, Mauricio 2016-11-10T18:39:03Z 2016-11-10T18:39:03Z 2018-11-11T10:15:45Z 2016-06-21 2016-08 My dissertation research examines how the right to education, stated explicitly in the Chilean constitution, has been interpreted as educational policies are being enacted. I contrast this analysis with the use of the right to education by a group of poor Chilean parents, who in 2014, successfully resisted school closings in their community. I address these issues by conducting a mixed-methods study based on two methodological approaches: A critical discourse analysis of the right to education as it is elaborated in the Chilean constitution and a multi-sited case study in three schools of parent and community resistance to school closings. There are two main findings that can be summarized based on my research: 1) The commission in charge of developing the constitutional right to education did so with the goal of developing an educational market to promote a school choice policy in Chile, shielding it in a neoliberal imaginary of society; and 2) Parents and guardians of my multi-sited case study have an active role to play in the policy-making process, they cannot be reduced to educational consumers but must be understood as politically engaged persons that can articulate a resistance process by networking with other political agents. A general conclusion of my dissertation is that the right to education should be reframed considering Tomasevski 4 A's scheme, and be reviewed based on how inclusive an educational system is, how diverse and non-standardized the provision of this education is, and if the relationship of meso-level institutions with schools is actually supporting the realization of this fundamental human right.
