Episode Synopsis

In Leading Against Neoliberalism and Privatization, we consider how neoliberalism, capitalism, and privatization concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few, posing serious threats to the public good. These forces operate broadly across society, impacting healthcare, housing, job security, labour rights, and the weakening of unions. In education, neoliberal and privatization agendas manifest through private partnerships, specialized schools and programs, reliance on fees and fundraising, school choice, private schooling, homeschooling, and even in curriculum design and our understanding of students and education’s purpose. We’ll examine how these systems shape who we are as leaders, influence our relationships with one another, and envision possibilities for a more equitable future.
