Special Issue on the continued impact of neoliberalism on urban education: Introduction Part 2

Robert W. Spires, University of Richmond

Abstract

The second part of the Special Issue on the continued impact of neoliberalism on urban education brings six articles forth to add further clarification on these complex issues. Each of these perspectives adds much needed detail to the ways in which neoliberal logic has taken hold in education and will not be dislodged easily. Further, these articles provide perspectives on future strategies, tools, concepts and action needed to undo the negative impacts of neoliberalism on urban schooling and beyond, with the intention of moving our educational institutions toward more communitarian, egalitarian and democratic ideals.
