Professor
Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP)
Dr. Ross is interested in the influence of social and institutional contexts on teachers’ practice as well as the role of curriculum and teaching in building a democratic society. His most recent research develops a radical critique of schooling as social control and a collection of strategies that can be used disrupt and resist the conformative, anti-democratic, and oppressive potentialities of schooling, practices he describes as dangerous citizenship.
