Capital in Higher Education (eBook, PDF)

A Critique of the Political Economy of the Sector

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a systematic, sectoral, and in-depth Marxist perspective on the critique of political economy of higher education. It proposes an original method of analysis of higher education as a field of capitalist production, grounded at the intersection of mainstream higher education research and contemporary debates in Marxist theories. At the same time, it imbues a political perspective based on the embedding of higher education within the wider social network of antagonistic relations that traverse the capitalist economy at large.

Rezensionen

Capital in Higher Education is a rewarding, and demanding, exploration of academic publication in higher education. More than the relatively modest claim to provide a toolbox , however, it is a model of an alternative way to do higher education research, and a provocation for those of us working, teaching, and researching in higher education to ourselves push beyond .
