In the current era of marketplace reforms the idea of<br \/>\nthe public has been supplanted by a private ideology of risk management;<br \/>\nwhereby, under individualization, students as consumers are taught<br \/>\nresponsible choice strategies designed for competitive advantage in the<br \/>\nso-called new economy.<\/p>\n<p>Under Keynesian economics, which held sway in the U.S., Britain, Canada,<br \/>\nand Australia from the 1930s to the Thatcher-Reagan era of the 1980s, the<br \/>\npublic sought to ameliorate inequities stemming from race, class and<br \/>\ngender bias, but under neoliberalism the state has shifted to promoting a<br \/>\nmeritocratic myth of governing the self.  As old collectivities and their<br \/>\nsupport structures such as working-class labor and unions have begun to<br \/>\ndisappear under advanced capitalism so too have their counterparts within<br \/>\nthe school system.<\/p>\n<p>In this special issue we seek manuscripts that explore the devolution of<br \/>\npublic education under neoliberalism.  We are interested in scholarly<br \/>\npapers that trouble the notion of risk in an educational environment of<br \/>\ncompetitive capitalism, the nature of specialized curriculums that are<br \/>\ndevoted to social advantage, the ways in which schools have outsourced<br \/>\nservices and privatized operations; and the assaults on teachers\u2019 rights<br \/>\nthrough de-unionizing practices, the dismantling of seniority, and the<br \/>\nerosion of benefits.  We are interested in case studies of neoliberal<br \/>\ndesigned school-based reforms as well as accounts of teaching about<br \/>\nneoliberalism in the social foundations classroom.<\/p>\n<p>To submit manuscripts please use our online submission and review system<br \/>\nat Manuscript Central: <a href=\"http:\/\/mc.manuscriptcentral.com\/heds\">http:\/\/mc.manuscriptcentral.com\/heds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to include a note that your submission is for the Special Issue on<br \/>\nNeoliberalism and Public Education.<\/p>\n<p>Deadline for manuscript submissions: June 1, 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CALL FOR PAPERS Educational Studies Special Issue: Neoliberalism and Public Education Guest Editors: Richard D.
