Abstract
Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot ’66, a MacArthur prize-winning sociologist and distinguished professor of education at Harvard University, will deliver this year’s McCabe Lecture “On Goodness in Education: Disrupting the Discourse.” In her lecture, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot will challenge some of the prevailing rhetoric, perspectives, and metaphors that tend to dominate—and often distort and mute—the public conversations about schooling. She will offer a reframing and counterpoint to those contemporary discourses that she sees as more inclusive, productive, and promising.
