Smashing the Stereotypes: Challenging race and gender in the classroom
The latest issue of Our Schools/Our Selves, Smashing the Stereotypes, examines the ways in which stereotypes (such as gender and race) limit debate, and how educators and academics are challenging these constraints. Contributors to this issue include Ozlem Sensoy, David Stocker and Tim McCaskell.
This issue is dedicated to the memory of Bob Davis—a friend, supporter and guest editor of Our Schools/Our Selves.

About the author
Erika (she/her) became Director of the National Office in 2020, but began her career at the CCPA in 1997 as director of the Education Project. Originally established to monitor corporate intrusion in public education, the project broadened its focus to include standardized testing, social justice and anti-racism education in schools, educational equity, school finance, child care and early childhood education, tuition and user fees, technology, surveillance and privacy, the arts, and community-based education. In 2000 she also became editor of Our Schools/Our Selves, the popular education journal founded in 1988. It provides commentary and analysis on a wide variety of education-related topics. Erika has a BA in History from McGill University and an MA in English (critical literary analysis) from the University of Guelph. Prior to coming to the CCPA, she worked in Washington DC researching the corporatization of childhood, and was one of the founders of UNPLUG (which became the now-defunct Center for Commercial-Free Public Education). She spends far too much time on social media.
