Social change and education in Greece
In Praise of the Carceral Tour
This article is a response to Piché and Walby's (2010) criticism of ‘carceral tours’. It uses 40 reflective accounts, completed by final year students at Birmingham City University, of their visit to HMP Grendon – an annual visit which has been ongoing for ten years – to argue that this ‘carceral tour’ has pedagogical value to the students and is also important to the prisoners and prison staff
Analysing a 'neoliberal moment' in English higher education today
English higher education, like other parts of the public sector and higher education in other countries, is currently undergoing considerable change as it is being restructured as if it were a market in which universities, departments and academics compete against one another. This restructuring is producing new processes of subjectivity that discipline those who work and study in higher education institutions. Feminist poststructuralists have su…
Structure and Agency in the Neoliberal University
This volume considers how current transitions in postsecondary education are impacting Higher Education (HE) institutions and subjects in a number of Northern nations, as well as how these transitions are indicative of the wider shift from the welfare to the market state. The university is now considered a key site for training and wealth generation in the so-called 'knowledge economy' that operates in a globalising, high tech world. Further, the…
Critical Hope at the Chalkface
New Right students
This article describes the discourses working‐class students at a university in Britain have about learning. The discourses include ideas about who is a good student, education as an investment, and marking. Students incorporate, in part, both neo‐liberal and neo‐conservative economic and political views into their perceptions of who should succeed or fail in higher education, but these notions sit contradictorily alongside their more social demo…
Teaching Social Theory in Trying Times
Articles written to date in Sociological Research Online as part of the rapid response to the events of 11 September and their aftermath have considered how sociology understands the contemporary world, as Larry Ray (2001) suggested. These articles have suggested that sociology can helpfully consider a number of issues that are emerging as a consequence of these events and that there is an urgency for sociologists to address these questions in th…
Theorizing Pedagogic Practices in the Contexts of Marketization and of September 11, 2001, and Its Aftermath
Reflecting on a social theory course taught during autumn 2001,1 argue that progressive educators should theorize pedagogic practices in the contexts of the marketizing of higher education and the events of September 11. Such theorizing can demonstrate the limits of marketizing forces and can provide space where critical thought can help create alternatives to both marketizing forces and to the post-September 11 intensification of Third World rag…
