Privatisation in education across Europe: New forms in a changing context.

Description

The BA Rising Star event was a symposium which mapped the changing relationship across Europe between privatisation and public education, whose provision has experienced multiple and significant interventions by nation states as part of a global reform agenda privileging markets, competition and corporate actors. These reforms presently face a new context: a global paradigm shift where Europe is starting to confront the failure of these approaches, evident in, inter alia, the rise of anti-establishment politics.

For this project, the British Academy‘s funding enabled around 30 researchers from across the world to come to Manchester to discuss these issues, helped by insights from distinguished keynote and invited speakers.
