With essays concerned with the struggle to achieve equal educational
opportunity through desegregation and the struggle for equality of
educational achievement, Gordon uses logical analysis to exploit the
potential of the dominant system's theories (""the master's tools"") to
subvert that system's efforts at intellectual marginalization and
oppression of low-income people of color. Edmund W. Gordon is the
Richard March Hoe Professor of Psychology and Education Emeritus and
Director, Emeritus of the Institute of Urban and Minority Education, at
Teachers College, Columbia University. He is also the John M. Musser
Professor of Psychology Emeritus at Yale University and has been the
Senior Scholar-in-Residence at the College Board. The Educational
Testing Service created the Edmund W. Gordon Chair in Evaluation,
Research and Policy in 2004. The following year, Columbia University
named its Harlem facility the Edmund W. Gordon Campus of Teachers
College. Locally he and his wife, Dr. Susan G. Gordon, are the
Co-Founders of the CEJJES Institute in Pomona.
