Abstract
Merging elements of social movement theory with educational policy analysis, this article explores the question of how grassroots actors approach educational
systems as both a target of claim making, and a field of direct action. Drawing on neo-institutional theories of agency, the discussion conceptualizes some of the principal pathways of collective action through which grassroots education reform initiatives take shape, as well as some of the corresponding dilemmas and problematics associated with these pathways.
