"Biopolitics and Resistance in Legal Education is an excellently generative text that will encourage law teachers to consider what it means to resist in the classroom, in the wider legal academy and beyond. The edited collection will inspire reflections on the extent to which legal educators are already resisting and to think on what additional ways of describing resistance are helpful in how it is achieved in legal education, such as refusals, subversions or even overhauls. This volume and its counterpart, Biopolitics and Structure in Legal Education, tessellate beautifully and underline that in order to resist an aspect of legal education, one must be deeply cognisant of its structures. Finally, both texts are an exemplary demonstration of writing about the theory and philosophy of legal education." Aysha Mazhar, Keele School of Law, UK, The Law Teacher 2024
