In this article, I provide a critical feminist analysis of my experience in a public-private partnership of university, government, and industry in New Brunswick. The project served the economic interests of the partners, supported neo-liberal discourses framing the restructuring of public services in the province, and shaped and were shaped by dominant social relations of gender, race, and class. Although the intent of the partnership was to benefit students in the public school system, my analysis points to benefits for the project partners and larger economic, social, and political interests.
