Cooper Union IDS

Join us this Thursday for the last IDS lecture of 2022.

Sónia Vaz Borges at 7pm in The Rose Auditorium.

'Inheriting Possibility: Social Reproduction & Quantification in Education' was Ezekiel Dixon-Román's first book, published in 2017 by University of Minnesota Press. In it, he reconceptualizes quantification and theories of social reproduction in education from a cultural theoretical lens that posits culture is nature and the human is one of myriad expressions of Earth’s becoming. Inheriting Possibility received the 2018 Outstanding Book Award from the American Educational Research Association.

His current book projects include a 'Handbook of Critical Inquiry and Quantitative Methods', an edited collection of scholarship that philosophically rethinks the possibilities of quantitative methods for critical inquiry. He is also working on an authored book project that is theoretically and empirically examining the ways in which data and algorithms become racialized forces, particularly in the area of algorithmic governance, and, as a result, are active agencies in reconfiguring sociopolitical relations in society.

Please join us tomorrow (Thursday, 7pm) at The Cooper Union for Ezekiel Dixon-Román's IDS lecture, 'Measurement and the Racial Logics of Algorithmic Governance'.
