How did the cold war, and ideals of development shape standardized testing? How can looking at gender help us understand standardized testing's significance?
Join us for a talk with Hilary Falb Kalisman (U of Colorado Boulder) for insight into her fascinating new research into the relationships between geopolitics and standardized testing, one of the most important, durable, and under-analyzed legacies of imperialism in the Middle East.
This event is co-sponsored by the Taube Center for Jewish Studies, the Concentration in Education and Jewish Studies at the Graduate School of Education, the Department of History, the Program in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies.
