Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, this captivating work sheds light on the often-overlooked corporealities that shape the very fabric of higher education. It challenges traditional notions of the university as a solely intellectual space, exposing the profound impact of physicality, embodiment, and materiality on educational practices and student experiences.

Unveiling the Invisible Hand: Commercialization and Its Discontents

Disclosure and Higher Education Corporealities delves into the insidious influence of commercialization on the university landscape. It unveils the ways in which institutions of higher learning have become increasingly corporatized, prioritizing profit over pedagogical excellence and student well-being. The book exposes the disturbing consequences of this transformation, from the erosion of academic freedom to the stratification of student experiences based on financial disparities.

Embodiment and Resistance: Reclaiming the Student Body

Beyond its critique of commercialization, Disclosure and Higher Education Corporealities places significant emphasis on the role of embodiment in the university context. It explores the ways in which student bodies are regulated, surveilled, and commodified, often leading to feelings of alienation and disempowerment. However, the book also highlights acts of resistance and agency, where students reclaim their bodies and voices to challenge prevailing norms and oppressive structures.

An Indispensable Resource for Educators, Researchers, and Students

Whether you are an educator seeking to understand the complexities of the university environment, a researcher delving into the intersection of education and corporeality, or a student eager to navigate the hidden currents shaping your academic journey, Disclosure and Higher Education Corporealities is an essential resource.

This groundbreaking work not only exposes the hidden realities of higher education but also offers invaluable insights for creating a more equitable, inclusive, and transformative educational landscape.

Reviews

"Disclosure and Higher Education Corporealities is a groundbreaking and provocative work that challenges the traditional ways in which we think about higher education. Banet-Weiser and O'Neill expose the hidden forces that shape the university experience, from the commercialization of education to the regulation of student bodies. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the realities of higher education today." - Dr. Henry Giroux, Professor of Education and Cultural Studies at McMaster University

"In this meticulously researched and incisive book, Banet-Weiser and O'Neill offer a much-needed critique of the corporatization of higher education. They demonstrate how the pursuit of profit has eroded academic freedom, commodified student experiences, and marginalized those who do not conform to the dominant norms. This book is a wake-up call for educators, students, and policymakers alike." - Dr. Ruth Wajnryb, Professor of Sociology at Macquarie University
