Pedagogy of the Privileged: Elite Universities and Dialectical Contradictions in the UK
Cresswell, Mark; Karimova, Zulfia; Brock, Tom
Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, v11 n4 p25-48 Nov 2014
This paper considers the role and function of Left academics within "elite" (i.e. Russell Group) universities within the UK. Deploying Marxist theory and critical realism, it analyses the "dialectical contradictions" experienced in such a role and reflects upon productive strategies for resisting the hegemony of neo-liberalism within those milieus.
