This edited collection combines quantitative content and critical
discourse analysis to reveal a shift in the rhetoric used as part
of the neoliberal agenda in education. It does so by analysing,
uncovering, and commenting on language as a central tool of
education. Focussing on vocabulary, metaphors, and slogans used in
strategy documents, advertising, policy, and public discourse, the
text illustrates how concepts such as justice, opportunity,
well-being, talent, and disadvantage have been hijacked by
educational institutes, governments, and universities. Showing how
neoliberalism has changed discourses about education and
educational policy, these chapters trace issues such as
anti-intellectualism, commercialization, meritocracy, and an
erasure of racial difference back to a contradictory growth in
egalitarian rhetoric. Given its global scope, this volume offers a
timely intervention in the studies of neoliberalism and education
by developing a holistic vision of how the language of
neoliberalism has changed how we think about education. It will
prove to be an essential resource for scholars and researchers
working at the intersections of education, policymaking, and
neoliberalism.
