Abstract

Within the literature regarding parental engagement I have identified three problematic strands that effectively twist together as rope to strangle democratic parental engagement. These strands are: lack of agency, lack of space (physical and mental) and individualisation. The neoliberalisation of education has led to a responsibilisation of parents which colonises voice, demands consensus and producing economically successful adults. There is little space for questioning the status quo and viewing education from a more community orientated viewpoint.
This poster will communicate these strands and how my research has led to a re-visioning of these strands; a relaying of the rope. The strands of agency, space and relationships hold each other in tension to provide a lifeline to democratic parental engagement.
