Description
Sheila Slaughter & Gary Rhoades. Academic Capitalism and the New Economy: Market, State, and Higher Education. Baltimore and London: John Hopkins University Press. 2004. 366 pp. $39.95 (hardcover) As an integral part of teacher education programs, social foundations of education tends to focus on developing interpretative, critical, and normative perspectives regarding the relationship between K-12 schools and society. Yet, emphasizing the contextual understanding of educational ideas, practices, and policies, foundational scholars must attend to how the new economy is shaping the existing teacher education programs situated in higher education institutions. Under these circumstance, I find that Academic Capitalism and the New Economy: Market, State, and Higher Education by Sheila Slaughter and Gary Rhoades represents a timely scholarly work that unveils the complex development of academic capitalism and calls for a critical re-examination of the mission of higher education institutions. In what follows, I first summarize the theoretical framework, findings, analyses, and conclusion of Slaughter and Rhoades' study. Next, I explore the possibilities for transforming academic capitalism within and beyond higher education institutions.
