1.) Giroux writes that, “Asked to define themselves either through the language of the marketplace or through a discourse of liberal objectivity and neutrality that abstracts from the realm of the cultural or social, educators are increasingly being pressured to become either servants of corporate power or disengaged specialists wedded to the imperatives of a resurgent and debasing academic professionalism” (Giroux 136). Here, Giroux is discussing higher education, but in what ways could this question be extended or applied to k-12 education? Also, what does Giroux mean by “wedded to the imperatives of a resurgent and debasing academic professionalism” (Giroux 136)?
2.) Hall discusses his education as colonial, what are some ways that we could combat the coloniality of education? Is there a way to combat it given the role governments play in deciding what material is taught?
