Gregory N. Bourassa Doctoral student
Interests: Biopolitics, Critical Pedagogy, Critical Theory, Cultural Studies, Ecopedagogy, Educational
Theory
My interests are driven by the recognition that schools are important political and cultural sites that play
a vital role in constituting and shaping subjectivities. As such, schools are sites of possibility that must
diligently be cultivated to promote modes of critically subversive thought and participatory citizenship
for a politically vibrant, justice-oriented society. Understanding that schools not only promote success,
but also failure, I am also interested in how the structure of schooling is organized to privilege select
groups of students at the expense of historically marginalized groups. My work aims to illustrate and
challenge these dynamics both in their overt expressions and in the subtle and nuanced variations of
hidden curricula. Overall, this work confronts the type of superfluous educational life that such a system
promotes and seeks to explore possibilities where education meets an affirmative biopolitics.
