Discursos e Identidades en Contextos de Cambio Educativo

Edited by Guadalupe López Bonilla and Carmen Pérez Fragoso

This edited collection emerged from a colloquium convened by the academic body of the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. Held in 2008, the meeting brought together nine researchers/teachers from Mexico and the United States to explore educational challenges associated with reforms, innovations, policies, and changing contexts in higher education. The contributors to this collection are 14 researchers from Mexico and the United States, who collectively consider the inequality of opportunities in educational institutions and processes on both sides of the border.

The chapters in this collection advance the understanding of the challenges faced by diverse educational communities and contexts. Drawing on the concepts of discourse and identity, this work analyzes the problematic relationship between various educational actors immersed in contexts of change at the local, national and global levels. Empirical studies included in this book include cases reporting the identity negotiations of indigenous teachers; teachers from the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE); high school students; scientific researchers in Mexico; high-achieving minority students; and bilingual elementary students in Mexico and the United States. Two chapters that advance theoretical perspectives address the need for students to have the necessary knowledge to participate effectively in educational processes, as well as the need to create scenarios and opportunities for the equitable participation of all without distinction of social, economic, or ethnic background or identity. This book will be of particular interest to researchers, teachers, and those who are training in educational research.
