Dear TURC colleagues:

Hopefully all have come through both Christmas and the Ice storm relatively 
unscathed.

For those on the list who work for education unions or have an interest in 
education policy, please consider submitted a proposal for a paper or attending 
this conference I am organizing with a colleague.

All the Best for 2014.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Capitalism in the Classroom: Neoliberalism, Education and 
Progressive Alternatives
Conference & Special Issue Call For Papers
Alternate Routes: A Journal of Critical Social Research

Edited by Carlo Fanelli (Ryerson University) and Bryan Evans (Ryerson 
University)
Capitalism in the Classroom: Neoliberalism, Education
and Progressive Alternatives

As the austerity agenda intensifies, this special issue of Alternate Routes is 
seeking papers that explore how education is being restructured in light of 
market pressures to commodify and marketize learning and teaching from 
pre-school to post-secondary education and beyond. The conference will be held 
on Friday April 4, 2014 at Ryerson University. Paper proposals may include but 
are not limited to: How have state policies increased pressures to corporatize 
and privatize public education? How have children and youth programs been 
affected? How has the quality of work and labour been impacted? How have 
intersecting axes of oppression related to class, race, ethnicity, gender and 
so forth been reinforced or contested in the classroom? In what ways have 
student curriculums and teachers' academic freedoms been affected? Have 
educators and employees challenged such pressures? What role have trade union 
and community activists played in challenging the prerogatives of capitalism in 
the classroom? Are there progressive educational alternatives to neoliberalism?
Additional topics may include: ongoing theoretical debates; community outreach 
and education campaigns; cross-sectoral and international comparisons; new 
pedagogical methods and policy proposals for schooling and education; corporate 
influences on campus and in the classroom; new technologies and 
online-learning; publishing and dissemination of research; new public 
management and academic/non-academic labour; and social justice activism.
Conference submissions must be received no later than January 5, 2014. Please 
include an abstract no longer than 300-words and brief biography. Conference 
decisions will be made within one week. If you are interested in submitting an 
article but cannot attend the conference, articles must be submitted by May 15, 
2014. New authors are encouraged to visit

additional information. Conference proposals and article submissions must be 
sent directly to editor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:editor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
