Analysis For Republicans, watching or reading more liberal news was linked to lower meta-prejudice and meta-dehumanization. For Democrats, higher exposure to conservative news was associated with lower meta-prejudice. When Republicans consumed more conservative news, they report higher meta-dehumanization.

Theory & Literature Rank-and-File Rebels: Theories of Power and Change in the 2018 Education Strikes

Post image
6 Upvotes

In spring 2018, a wave of rank-and-file rebellion swept schools across the south and southwest United States, among other places. Educators in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Arizona pushed their trade unions, school boards, and school administrations to shut schools down to increase wages, halt rising healthcare costs, and restore public education funding. Despite stringent anti-union labor laws, rank-and-file educators organized on the periphery and sometimes beyond their reticent state unions to take direct action, contributing to a resurgence in educator uprisings across the US and the globe. Rank-and-File Rebels explores and historicizes the spring 2018 “red” state strikes, offering insights into the racial, gendered, and political contexts of educators’ organizing in the lead-up to, during, and soon after the strikes. Through interviews with strike organizers across four states as well as the authors’ own experiences in education labor organizing, this book analyzes theories of power and change, approaches to unionism, and the significance of solidarity and social justice union approaches in contemporary educator labor movements.
