Masculinity and Aspiration in an Era of Neoliberal Education

Addressing boys’ schooling experiences and subjectivities from a neoliberal perspective, this collection investigates the ways in which boys negotiate neoliberal rhetoric surrounding aspiration and how neoliberalism shapes boys’ identities.

This collection investigates the ways in which boys and young men negotiate neoliberal discourse surrounding aspiration and how neoliberalism shapes their identities. Expanding the field of masculinity studies in education, the contributors offer international comparisons of different subgroups of boys and young men in primary, secondary and university settings. A cross-sectional analysis of race, gender, and class theory is employed to illuminate the role of aspiration in shaping boys’ identities, which adds nuance to their complex "identity work" in neoliberal times.
