Finding a Voice

New!

From: Class Action

$1.60

In Finding a Voice Hanson concludes the book through reassessing and reiterating how teachers have resisted neo-liberalism, not only because it attacked their material wellbeing and demeaned their work, but also because it undermined the broad entitlements of a liberal education and diminished their students’ life chances.

The final chapter reflects on the 2019–20 battle with the Ford Conservative government and the way that it has demonstrated how politicized elementary teachers have become, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the severity of funding cuts and future plans for degrading working conditions.

In the 1997 campaign against Premier Mike Harris, he was a member of the local consolidated committee of five teachers’ unions organizing marches and rallies, co-ordinating picket lines, and communicating with members.
