About Sean
Arseo's research focuses on the politics of schooling and educational transformation. His current research explores how and to what ends California school districts implemented a policy designed to engage parents, community members, and other stakeholders in local budgeting decisions. Overarching themes in Arseo's writings include school-community relationships; democratization and participatory governance; and the (in)equality (re)produced in and through these social and political phenomena. Arseo serves as a Senior Consultant with Pivot Learning, an education consulting organization, to develop and execute their research agenda.
