Scribner Department: Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership Division: EPLCurriculum Vitae: Curriculum VitaeEmail Address: cfscrib@umd.edu Research Interests Educational Policy and School Reform, History of Education, Philosophy of Education, Civic Education, Educational Law Bio I am a scholar of educational policy, history, and philosophy. Although my work covers a broad chronological range, all of it centers on conflicting notions of democracy in American schools. My first book, The Fight for Local Control: Schools, Suburbs, and American Democracy (Cornell University Press, 2016), examines the legal and political controversies around school district boundaries, which present difficult choices between local participation and equal educational opportunity. Other projects include studies the history of school discipline, the history and philosophy of student boredom, and the contested meanings of school vandalism.
