The (im)possibility of thinking under neoliberalism

The short video below (its just over 6 mins), previews a new paper (link here) by Bronwyn Davies, who is a fabulous educational thinker and scholar.

Here she talks about how it's getting harder and harder to think in a climate that is increasingly anti-intellectual and anti-critique.

She suggests that the threats of neo-liberalism reach into all spheres of our life and achieve their effects without us realising their power.  Davies calls for a new spirit of critique.
