Knowledge and Power: Season 2 Trailer

"Who decides what gets called knowledge — and what does that decision cost the people on the receiving end?" Welcome to Season 2 of The Cultural Context of Knowledge. This season is organized around one relationship: knowledge and power. The classroom in the United States has changed. The students inside it have changed. The institutions that decide what counts as knowledge have not yet changed with them. That is the gap this season takes up. What's ahead this season: · How institutions decide what counts as legitimate knowledge · The legislative wave reshaping what teachers can and cannot say · What schooling does to the children we send into it — and what the trauma research has been telling us for decades · AI as the newest gatekeeper, and what an accountable response would look like · Where state standards actually get written, and who is in the room when they are · What it would take to design education for the world that already exists If you are an educator, a learner, a parent, or someone trying to understand a system you have spent your whole life inside of, this season is for you. Start with Episode 1 — Knowledge, Power, and the U.S. Demographic Pivot. About the show The Cultural Context of Knowledge is a narrative podcast hosted by Dr. Donald Easton-Brooks, exploring how culture, history, institutions, and power shape what counts as knowledge — and what that means for learners, classrooms, and the U.S. education system. #CulturalContextOfKnowledge #EducationPodcast #KnowledgeAndPower #EducationalEquity
