Hidden Curricula in Higher Education
Branding the New American University
This presentation examines the visual images used to “sell” Arizona State University (ASU). Many state universities are increasingly in competition with private colleges and universities. In this competition they have adopted many visual advertising techniques including: putting the user ahead of others; snob appeal; magic ingredients; facts and figures; simple solutions; card stacking; and glittering generalities. These are employed to create a “unique” brand, in this case “The New American University.” I examine images on busses, billboards, internet sites, T shirts and other venues for images creating and marketing the new image of ASU.
Ceremony and Ritual in School
Much of the discourse on schooling is framed as “education” and the emphasis is on mind, learning, and assessing curricula content. represent mental activity but are excellent in representing the arrangement of bodies in architectural space, and in relation to each other. Photographs of schools cannot represent mental activity but are excellent in representing the arrangement of bodies in architectural space, and in relation to each other. However images of bodies in the place and activity called “school” become data for the inquiring gaze.
Visual Histories of American Schools, short version
This project began as a search for photographs to be used as illustrations for a series of lectures on the history of American education. At first the enormous numbers of photographs of schools, students, and teachers available online seemed overwhelming. In an evening I found more images than I needed for three lectures. A closer look at the photographs, and the collections that they were found in, raised a set of research questions : What photographs have been included? How can we understand the meaning of these photographs? What photographs were made that are not in the archives? What was not photographed?

Looking at Discipline, Looking at Labor: Photographs of Native American Indians in School By Eric Margolis And Jeremy Rowe
Looking at Discipline, Looking at Labor: Photographs of Native American Indians in School By Eric Margolis And Jeremy RoweThe origin of this project was hundreds of photographs from the Indian Boarding schools. The photos raise theoretical issues. How can we understand the peculiar iconography of Indian schools? What do these photographs tell us about photography? And about school? In this presentation I’ll draw on four conceptual sources. First, an article by Michael Apple that drew a distinction between weak and strong elements of socialization. Second, Durkheim’s concept of school “discipline” as socialization. Third Goffman’s concept of total institutions, and fourth, Foucault’s analysis of the mechanisms of discipline as the organizing principle of modernism.

Reform School
This presentation examines historic and current drawings photographs of reform schools. “Reform schools” were actually created as instruments for the socialization of children before the development of public schools.
Schooling the Body
This presentation examines historic and current photographs to reveal the practices of schooling the body. Photography is particularly good at revealing visible things that we do not talk about. Thus, where those writing about education concentrate most of their rhetoric on mental learning, photographers focus their lenses on the physical arrangements of bodies in space – revealing the effect of schooling on the body.
Sociologies of the Image: Methodologies for Using Historical Pictures
We are quickly approaching the situation where most of the historic photographs hitherto hidden away in museums, libraries, and archives will be digitized and available in searchable data bases on the Internet. These images and the connected data concerning their provenance constitutes a brand new resource for all the human and cultural sciences. In confronting this enormous quantity of visual information, one can begin with the basic tools of qualitative research: collecting, sorting, initial coding, axial coding, analysis, and writing or other methods of presenting one’s data.
Through A Lens Darkly
Urban Schools and the Photographic Imagination It is impossible in this short essay either to do justice to the many ways that photographs can be studied or the controversies over photographic meaning. Nor is it possible to do more that provide a brief, but perhaps indicative, survey of images of urban education. I’ll select a handful of images to reproduce and comment on them briefly. After a sort of historical tour of urban schools, if there is time, I’ll make a few comments on methods and my analytical approach.
UNIVERSITIES CHANGING 2017: Research and Reflection
This talk will show and discuss four paradigms that have organized the university’s mission over the centuries. These paradigms, actually long eras, have structured administration, faculty, and student and student behavior. I’ll briefly touch on the first three era’s or paradigms -- Ancient, Medieval and Modern, but focus most of my talk on Neo-liberalism and what it means for today’s institutions of higher education
