This article examines a popularized term, the Global Education Reform Movement (GERM), and its underlying paradigm of neoliberalism. It elucidates neoliberalism's maddening effects on the education sector, especially public education. To analyze these effects, I draw from and adapt Michel Foucault's analytical approach to madness. My analysis…

This article conceptualises the notion of the 'education hustle' as a case of Bourdieuian doxa and illusio. It is argued that the plethora of education reforms engaged in across the globe encompassing privatisation, corporatisation, marketisation, strong accountability, and the governance structures of the New Public Management (NPM), especially…

From a world society perspective, common national educational developments are driven by global cultural models that dominated an international liberal order. These models emphasized the centrality of education as an institution, both as a source of human capital and as an inherent human right. Epistemic communities and international organizations…

Graduate business school programs have become increasingly reliant on international students to fill their classrooms. Because the United States is a top destination for candidates looking to pursue graduate management education (GME) abroad, understanding their views of the U.S. political and policy environment is crucial for business schools as…

Purpose: This paper aims to present the twenty-five-year evolving pathway of the European dimension in education in Croatia.

This paper attempts to reassess the educational affordances of digital screens, at a time when their educational impact has become "incontournable," but is also increasingly growing suspicion.

Paulo Freire's philosophy of education, popularized via his magnum opus, "The Pedagogy of the Oppressed" (2000 [1970]) 'shocked' the world, sort of constructively, with its trenchant, au courant and futuristic meditations on the onto-epistemological lives of the marginalized in Latin America, and by elliptical extension, across the…

Although decolonial thought from Latin America and the Caribbean is a multifaceted field of research and sociopolitical praxis, it is often interpreted monolithically. To refuse this tendency, we argue that it is imperative to trace decolonial theory's intellectual genealogies and engage in transgressive decolonial hermeneutics to re-interpret…

To address an ethics of refusal in higher education is to wager in the name of future possibles not already governed by the extractive politics of colonial progress and oppressive regimes of knowing and doing. In this essay, Petra Mikulan shows American pragmatism to have always been, in a certain sense, post-Anthropocene in its condition of…
