Description

In this edited collection, philosophers and critical theorists develop theoretical tools to conceptualize and evaluate the neoliberal university,working together both to interrogate how it reproduces systems of oppression and exploitation and toidentify moreliberatory and egalitarian alternatives. Acting and organizing within and against neoliberalizedhigher education in the Western capitalist world, the international group of scholars included in this volume experience the contradictions andpossibilities of the contemporary configuration of the university daily. It is from this site ofcontradiction that the authors included in this volume pose its central question: In our time ofunprecedented social and natural crisis, what can higher education be and how might it
contribute to a more just, egalitarian, and liberated world
