Surviving Economic Crises Through Education

Researchers and practitioners in education provide a wide range of political, social, educative, and cultural views on education during economic crisis. They cover educational responses to the crises, case studies of Argentina, and educational theory and economic crisis. The topics include education for resilience and resistance in the big society, capitalist crisis and fascism as issues for educational practice, struggle for agency in contemporary Argentinean schools, the educational materialism of Deleuze and Guattari, and bankrupting Freire's banking model of education in an age of schizo-capitalism.
