Beskrivning
Education, Individualization and Neoliberalism questions the individualization process in education in the Anglo-American context and analyses how this process is applied in the everyday life of millennials with tertiary education in Southern Europe. Valerie Visanich explores the close affinity of this concept to neoliberalism in contemporary societies, specifically by focusing on changes in education and employment. Using Beck & Beck-Gernsheim's concept of individualization to refer to increased freedom in one’s life choices yet at the same time increased risks, Visanich unpacks the trajectories of life experiences of tertiary educated millennials in the contemporary neoliberal Anglo-American setting in relation to recent cultural and socio-economic changes. She examines how this individualized mode is adopted and adapted in countries across Southern Europe including Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta and Greece – in locations where cultural conditions habitually cushion-out, often by family networks and patronage, some of the burdens of being young today.

Once the preserve of a small elite, higher education in many countries today has become available to large numbers of young people. At the same time, it has become heavily commodified - opened up to market forces, rather than supported by public funding. Students are incurring huge levels of debt, against the backdrop of pronounced uncertainty in future labour markets, given the pace of change being created by technological innovation and AI. Millennials, Visanich makes clear, are caught up in a vast social and economic experiment whose outcome is largely unknown but fraught with risk and uncertainty. The book is of especial interest since it analyses these issues against the background of Southern Europe, where the individualism promoted by a market-driven ethos runs up against more traditional forms of social and cultural life.'
