The Neoliberal Agenda and the Student Debt Crisis in U.S. Higher Education
Capturing the voices of Americans living with student debt in the United States, this collection critiques the neoliberal interest-driven, debt-based system of U.S. higher education and offers alternatives to neoliberal capitalism and the corporatized university.

A New History of Tudor England
People concerned with the history of education and the history of labor rights bring two premises to the table.
