This article explores how Third Way policies have weakened class consciousness in education and how a Marxist model of education offers a powerful alternative to this weakening.

Abramo, Joseph Michael – Philosophy of Music Education Review, 2022
This essay explores new avenues towards challenging inequity in these dark times. In these dark times, neoliberalism has coopted discourses that once challenged inequality and systems of power.

Zrudlo, Ilya – Theory and Research in Education, 2021
Indoctrination is an ongoing concern in education, especially in debates about moral education. One approach to this issue is to come up with a rational procedure that can robustly justify potential items of moral education content. I call this the 'rationalistic justification project'. Michael Hand's recent book, "A Theory of Moral…

Ho, Yann-Ru; Tseng, Wei-Chieh – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2022
As Paulo Freire's education theory for social change and emancipation is being continually studied and disseminated in East Asia, it has faced skepticism as some educators are unfamiliar with its critical pedagogy or education for freedom concepts. In light of this, scholars have attempted to compare Freirean philosophies with concepts in Chinese…

Rotas, Nikki; Land, Nicole – Equity & Excellence in Education, 2020

Player, John – Studies in the Education of Adults, 2022
The incidence of drug-related deaths in Scotland has reached crisis proportions. Comparable only to the rust belt States in the US these figures point to the impact of the rapid scale of deindustrialisation and a global neoliberal economy, based on austerity, deepening class divisions and a return to a more naked form of capitalism. The question…

The article investigates the instrumentalizing and ontological effects of the concept of equality of educational opportunity (EEO).
