As an economic model built on finding and creating new commodities
from existing forms of life, biocapitalism has fundamentally
changed how we understand the boundaries between nature and culture
and thus relations between humans and nonhumans. How, for example,
should educators, students, and communities respond to developments
such as the first genetically engineered animal made for human
consumption, powerful new psychotropic drugs designed to target
behavioral 'disorders' in students, genetic explanations of
learning and intelligence, and new methods of educational
assessment interested in determining the added value of students
and teachers in the classroom? Education in the Age of
Biocapitalism is the first book to not only chart how education
should respond to the historic challenges of living in a
biocapitalist society but also to examine how human-capital
understandings of education have merged with the productive
paradigm of biocapitalism interested in extracting the most value
out of life.
