E Wayne Ross Email & Phone Number

My research focuses on the influence of social and institutional contexts on teachers’ practice as well as the role of curriculum and teaching in building a democratic society. In recent years, I have examined the influence of the educational standards and high-stakes testing movements on curriculum and teaching. Many of my publications are freely available at: http://ubc.academia.edu/EWayneRossI am co-founder and co-director, with Sandra Mathison and Stephen Petrina, of the Institute for Critical Education Studies and co-edit the Institute’s flagship, open access journals Critical Education and Workplace: A Journal for Academic Labor. I am also co-editor of Cultural Logic , which has been on-line since 1997, and is an open access, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal publishing essays, interviews, poetry, and reviews by writers working within the Marxist tradition.I have written extensively for newspapers and magazines on education and social issues and have contributed to numerous radio and television outlets. My education activism includes playing a key role in the creation of The Rouge Forum, a group of educators, parents, and students seeking a democratic society through dialogue and direct action (rougeforum.org).A former secondary social studies (Grades 8 to 12) and day care teacher in North Carolina and Georgia, I was Distinguished University Scholar and Chair of the Department of Teaching at the University of Louisville prior to my arrival at UBC in 2004. I have also taught at the State University of New York campuses at Albany and Binghamton.
