Description
Neoliberalism has been widely criticised because of its role in prioritising 'free markets' as the optimum way of solving problems and organising society. In the field of education, this leads to an emphasis on the knowledge economy that can reduce both persons and education to economic actors and be detrimental to wider social and ethical goals.
Drawing on a range of international contexts across informal, adult, school and university settings, this book provides innovative examples that show how neoliberalism in education can be challenged and changed at the local, national and transnational levels in order to foster a more democratic culture.

Reviews / Votes
"This book brings together an impressive international group of researchers to focus on challenging neoliberalism in education. I would recommend this book not only for the ideas it discusses, but also for the practices of resistance the authors detail in depth." Leona M. English, St. Francis Xavier UniversityMore details
