Issue Editors: Robert Austin Henry and Bernadete Beserra

This issue investigates the neoliberal transformation of higher education in Latin America since the 1980s and the resistance it has generated. It examines how higher education has became one more frontier for the expansion of corporate capital and accumulation of private wealth. Contributors take up the politics, economics, and culture of this process from a range of critical standpoints, analyzing the threat to the university as an essential space for free intellectual inquiry and showing the negative medium- and long-term consequences for social and economic development.
