Resisting Neoliberal Schooling Dismantling the Rubricization and Corporatization of Higher Education

The myth that formal institutionalized education produces open-minded and critical thinkers who possess "academic freedom" to pursue what they think is important is part of the lie that structures neoliberal societies. This book presents some seeds for realizing, resisting, and overcoming this reality to instead foster equitable and critical-consciousness raising educational systems grounded in individuals' and communities' own interests, needs and experiences. -Nathan Poirier, Co-Director, Students for Critical Animal Studies
