Abstract
The thematic section of this issue entitled “The Crisis of Neoliberalism and Education” emerged out of concerns with a democracy threatened by authoritarian forms of populism, traces of social fascism, and fundamentalism, all in the midst of new constructs emerging from the digital world, an uneven distribution of global wealth, and the macro-calamity embodied in climate change. The latter is rooted in the exploitation of nature as part of the dominant western cosmology that is still sustaining the economic system of production.
