Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction: higher education, engaged anthropology and hegemonic struggle -- CHAPTER 1 ‘After neoliberalism’? The reform of New Zealand’s university system -- CHAPTER 2 Using ethnographic methods to understand universities and neoliberal development in North Central Philadelphia -- CHAPTER 3 To market, to market to buy a . . . middle-class life? Insecurity, anxiety and neoliberal education in Michigan -- CHAPTER 4 Reading neoliberalism at the university -- CHAPTER 5 So many strategies, so little time . . . making universities modern -- CHAPTER 6 Constructing fear in academia: neoliberal practices at a public college -- CHAPTER 7 Autonomy and control: Danish university reform in the context of modern governance -- Afterword -- Index
Summary: As part of the neoliberal trends toward public-private partnerships, universities all over the world have forged more intimate relationships with corporate interests and more closely resemble for-profit corporations in both structure and practice.  These transformations, accompanied by new forms of governance, produce new subject-positions among faculty and students and enable new approaches to teaching, curricula, research, and everyday practices. The contributors to this volume use ethnographic methods to investigate the multi-faceted impacts of neoliberal restructuring, while reporting on their own pedagogical responses, at universities in the United States, Europe, and New Zealand.
