“…It is a response to the participatory deficits that exist in contemporary systems of power and then identifies the possibilities and obstacles for remedying those deficits (Mackin, 2005). Participants engaged with ERT come together in joint sensemaking, problem solving, and social analysis to promote more just educational policies and practices.…”

This paper explores the increasingly complex dynamic for conducting long-term critical ethnographic research in school settings. With ever-increasing neoliberal forms of knowledge prescribing school practice and policy, school leaders may not value the focus and duration of ethnographic studies. In a results-oriented climate of K–12 education, conducting school ethnographies may depend on administrators’ beliefs regarding the direct connection of the research to student achievement, the district's reputation, or a willingness to share in the stakes of the “public face” of research (Shulman, 1999). As researchers of culture and literacy, it is our contention that ethnographers have a valuable, sustaining role in school communities and that critical school ethnographies can be a tool for social justice as participants (researchers and school participants alike) can come together to engage in joint sense-making, problem solving, and social analysis of school practice and policy.

The Politics of Social Welfare in America examines how politicians, theorists, and citizens discuss need, welfare, and disability, with respect to theoretical and political projects. Glenn David Mackin argues that participants in these discussions often miss the way their perceptions of those in need shape their discourse. Professor Mackin also explores disability rights groups and welfare rights activism in the 1960s and 1970s, examining the ways in which those designated as needy or incompetent often challenge these designations. Such challenges recast the issue of welfare as an ongoing conflict over who counts as competent, generating new ways of understanding democracy and equality.
