As part of the neoliberal trends toward public-private partnerships, universities all over the world have forged more intimate relationships with corporate interests and more closely resemble for-profit corporations in both structure and practice. These transformations, accompanied by new forms of governance, produce new subject-positions among faculty and students and enable new approaches to teaching, curricula, research, and everyday practices. The contributors to this volume use ethnographic methods to investigate the multi-faceted impacts of neoliberal restructuring, while reporting on their own pedagogical responses, at universities in the United States, Europe, and New Zealand.

Susan B. Hyatt is Associate Professor of Anthropology at IUPUI and founder of that department's MA program in Applied Anthropology. From 1996-2004 she served on the faculty of Temple University. She is the author of several articles on urban policy and grassroots activism in the US and the UK.
