Rebecca Tarlau is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Education at Stanford University, affiliated with the Lemann Center for Educational Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Brazil. Her research examines state-society relations through the lens of social movements and educational reform, with concentrated expertise in Latin American contexts and critical pedagogy applications. Her academic credentials include: PhD from UC Berkeley (2014) MA from UC Berkeley (2008) BA from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (2006) Tarlau's scholarly work centers on politics of education, social movements, state theory, and comparative international education, with emphasis on how grassroots organizations like Brazil's Landless Workers Movement (MST) navigate political systems to transform public institutions. Her ethnographic approach reveals micro-political dynamics where social movements contest and co-produce educational spaces, challenging conventional frameworks of state-society interaction while addressing social inequality through pedagogical innovation. This research bridges political sociology, critical theory, and educational policy analysis. Her publications demonstrate consistent engagement with movement-led educational transformation in Brazil, analyzing how activist strategies reshape public schooling amid political and economic constraints. Key patterns include examination of resistance theories in pedagogical practice, the tension between movement autonomy and state cooptation, and transnational implications of localized educational experiments. Her work particularly illuminates how rural social movements navigate clientelism while advancing radical educational agendas within national policy frameworks. As a Lemann Center affiliate, Tarlau contributes to initiatives focused on educational entrepreneurship and innovation in Brazil, connecting her theoretical work on state-movement dynamics to practical efforts improving Brazilian education systems through evidence-based approaches.
