Description
Philosophical Interventions in Neoliberal Higher Education is an edited collection where philosophers and critical theorists develop theoretical tools to conceptualise and evaluate the neoliberal university. Working together, they interrogate how it reproduces systems of oppression and exploitation and identify more liberatory and egalitarian alternatives.
This volume gathers an international group of scholars who act and organise within and against neoliberalised higher education in the Western capitalist world. These scholars experience the contradictions and possibilities of the contemporary configuration of the university daily. However, the crisis in higher education is just one aspect of a broader social crisis. Neoliberalism and related social inequalities, rapid climate change, de-democratisation, rising authoritarianism, war, and genocide are interconnected challenges of our time.
Edited by Brandon Absher, this volume critiques and intervenes in higher education amidst this unprecedented social and natural crisis. It seeks not only to expose the structure and inadequacies of the current system but also to envision an alternative based on the principle of the commons.
What can higher education be, and how might it contribute to a more just, egalitarian, and liberated world?
