FreshEd #150 Altered States of Education (Gita Steiner-Khamsi)
Today we air the first ever FreshEd Live event, which was recorded last night in San Francisco. Gita Steiner-Khamsi joined me to discuss the ways in which the global education industry has altered the State and notions of free public education. We touched on a range of topics, from Bridge International to the International Baccalaureate and from network governance to system theory. Gita theorized why the State has taken on the logic of business and how a quantum leap in privatization has radically altered education. Gita Steiner-Khamsi is permanent faculty at Teachers College, Columbia University. In addition, she has been seconded by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva as a faculty member and by NORRAG as the director. This FreshEd Live event was sponsored by NORRAG. www.freshedpodcast.com/gitalive email: info@freshedpodcast.com twitter: @freshedpodcast facebook: FreshEd
