Emancipatory education struggles against capitalist agenda.

"Out of the Ruins" is a vital exploration of alternative learning spaces that challenge traditional capitalist and statist structures within education. The book provides readers with deep insight on radical informal learning practices, individual and collective struggles, and examples on how to contest efforts to commodify and privatize our everyday educational experiences. Through this book, readers will gain an understanding of how these alternative learning spaces operate and how they aim to disrupt the status quo of hierarchical, authoritarian, and hyper-individualistic models of social order often found in standard educational settings.

Description

Contemporary educational practices and policies across the world are heeding the calls of Wall Street for more corporate control, privatization, and standardized accountability. There are definite shifts and movements towards more capitalist interventions of efficiency and an adherence to market fundamentalist values within the sphere of public education. The important news is that emancipatory educational practices are emerging. In many cases, these alternatives have been undervalued or even excluded within the educational research. Out of the Ruins sets out to explore and discuss the emergence of alternative learning spaces that directly challenge the pairing of public education with particular dominant capitalist and statist structures.
