The School of P ublic Policy welcomes Heath Brown, associate professor of public po licy at John Jay College, on Wed., Jan. 27 at 2:00 p.m. for a virtual di scussion about his new book, Homeschooling the Right: How Conser vative Education Activism Erodes the State.

In H omeschooling the Right, the political scientist Heath Brown provides a novel analysis of the homeschooling movement and its central role in conservative efforts to shrink the public sector. He traces the aftereff ects of the passage of state homeschool policies in the 1980s and the re sults of ongoing conservative education activism on the broader politica l landscape, including the campaigns of George W. Bush and the rise of t he Tea Party. Brown finds that by opting out of public education service s in favor of at-home provision, homeschoolers have furthered conservati ve goals of reducing the size and influence of government. He applies th e theory of policy feedback—how public-policy choices determine su bsequent politics—to demonstrate the effects of educational activi sm for other conservative goals such as gun rights, which are similarly framed as matters of liberty and freedom. Brown draws on decades of county data (from Pennsylvania and seven other states), dozens of inter views, and original archives of formal and informal homeschool organizat ions.
