Biography
Eric Ferris is a High School Mathematics Teacher. He graduated from Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, Michigan, USA.
“Immensely textured, The (Dis)Order of U.S. Schooling affords the reader permission to sense our contemporary times offering a systematic intervention into Zygmunt Bauman’s considerable oeuvre and examines its potential for the study of Education […]. Hope for a self-reflexive, and self-mediated, Educational Institution may be on the horizon if Ferris and Bauman are taken seriously by activists, young scholars, by teachers longing to process the harms invoked by Institutions of separation, and critical researchers looking to embolden their understanding of power’s margins.” - Matthew Myers, Review of Education, Pedagogy and Culture in Society
