Education, Individualization and Neoliberalism questions the
individualization process in education in the Anglo-American
context and analyses how this process is applied in the everyday
life of millennials with tertiary education in Southern Europe.
Valerie Visanich explores the close affinity of this concept to
neoliberalism in contemporary societies, specifically by focusing
on changes in education and employment. Using Beck &
Beck-Gernsheim's concept of individualization to refer to increased
freedom in one's life choices yet at the same time increased risks,
Visanich unpacks the trajectories of life experiences of tertiary
educated millennials in the contemporary neoliberal Anglo-American
setting in relation to recent cultural and socio-economic changes.
She examines how this individualized mode is adopted and adapted in
countries across Southern Europe including Italy, Spain, Portugal,
Malta and Greece - in locations where cultural conditions
habitually cushion-out, often by family networks and patronage,
some of the burdens of being young today.
