“Working towards a democratic home-school imaginary” – Dr Charlotte Haines Lyon

This book is a must-read for all those concerned about growing inequalities in education and what we need to do about them.

– Diane Reay, University of Cambridge

Drawing on political theory, Dr Charlotte Haines Lyon’s chapter explores how a radical pluralist democratic understanding of parent engagement with schools can offer a counter to the current neoliberal view of parents within education.

Each glimpse of democratic engagement serves to offer the possibility of destabilising the status quo.
