Subject: [LCT] LCT paper: Cultivating criticality in a neoliberal system

Dear colleagues

I have just published a paper that makes use of LCT. It is called 'Cultivating
criticality in a neoliberal system: a case study of an English literature
curriculum at a mega distance university'. You can find the full text here:

[https://media.springernature.com/w200/springer-static/cover/journal/10734.jpg]<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10734-023-01084-y>
Cultivating criticality in a neoliberal system: a case study of an English
literature curriculum at a mega distance university - Higher
Education<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10734-023-01084-y>
Neoliberal practices such as managerialism and academic casualisation impact
higher education systems globally. While these practices can constrain any
curriculum aimed at enabling transformative learning, this paper shows that
they place particular limitations on arts and humanities curricula intent on
cultivating criticality and a sense of social responsibility. I draw on data
from an English literature curriculum study at a mega distance education
institution in South Africa and use Legitimation Code Theory to take a close-up
look at how two neoliberal practices: managerialism and academic casualisation
cause misalignments between the underpinning values of the curriculum and the
kinds of pedagogic and formative assessment practices that are employed. I
conclude that decisions regarding administration, enrolments and staffing based
on neoliberal values can frustrate students’ epistemological and ontological
access to humanities disciplines and limit the potential of humanities
curricula to offer a higher
