Opis

Neoliberalism is a dominant ideology shaping educational and environmental contexts. In this collection, international contributors examine how neoliberal ideas and processes shape environmental education across a variety of contexts from urban gardens and environmental science classrooms to prisons and statecraft. The collection invites readers to reexamine how economic policy and politics shape the cultural enactment of environmental education. This book was originally published as a special issue of Environmental Education Research.
