“Critical Bifocality”: The Dynamics of Privilege and Marginalization

Critical bifocality renders visible the relations between groups to structures of power, to social policies, to history, and to large sociopolitical formations. In this collaboration, the Weis and Fine draw upon ethnographic examples highlighting the macro-level structural dynamics related to globalization and neoliberalism. They focus on the ways in which broad-based economic and social contexts set the stage for day-to-day actions and decisions among privileged and non-privileged parents and students in relation to schooling. They suggest that critical bifocality enables us to consider how researchers might account empirically for global, national, and local transformations as insinuated, embodied, and resisted by youth and adults trying to make sense of current educational and economic possibilities in massively shifting contexts.
