Book Description
Recognizing the dominance of
neoliberal forces in education, this volume offers a range of critical essays
which analyze the language used to underpin these dynamics.
Combining essays from over 20
internationally renowned contributors, this text offers a critical examination
of key terms which have become increasingly central to educational discourse.
Each essay considers the etymological foundation of each term, the context in
which they have evolved, and likewise their changed meaning. In doing so, these
essays illustrate the transformative potential of language to express or
challenge political, social, and economic ideologies. The text’s musings on the
language of education and its implications for the current and future role of
education in society make clear its relevance to today’s cultural and political
landscape.
This exploratory monograph will
be of interest to doctoral students, researchers, and scholars with an interest
in the philosophy of education, educational policy and politics, as well as the
sociology of education and the impacts of neoliberalism.
