How Students Experience Competitive School Choice

A Contest Without Winners

A Contest without Winners follows a diverse group of Chicago students through the processes of researching, applying to, and enrolling in public high school, finding that the students are powerful policy actors who carry out and redefine competitive choice. Author Kate Phillippo challenges meritocratic and market-driven notions of opportunity creation for young people and raises critical questions about the goals we have for public schooling.  

A Penn GSE Brown discussion, co-sponsored by Urban Studies.
