À propos de l?auteur

Brian Ford hastaught from UPenn to Phnom Penh, stopping off in between in Albania, Botswana and, for 13 intriguing years as a New York City Public School Teacher, the Bronx. The last experience led him, after completing graduate work in International Political Economy at Columbia -and not quite finishing a PhD in Politics--, to investigate the connections between contemporary attempts to restructure public education in the US and the global system's ongoing institutionalization in accordance with neoliberal precepts. He currently splits time between New Delhi and New York, living with his wife and 6 year old daughter, writing about how educational policy is articulated, skewed and debated, studying the Indian education system and daily moving forward with another ongoing project on how to teach Math to pre-schoolers, as well as 5, 6 and, very soon, 7 year olds.
