From Education For All to Scholasticide: The Rise and Fall of the Global Liberal Education Order

This talk will trace the rise and fall of the Post-Cold War Liberal Order and its relationship to education. Dr. Novelli will explore the downward spiral of post-Cold War US hegemony from its triumphalist and upbeat uni-polar incarnation in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, where talk of (educational) freedom, democracy and peace was upbeat and widespread to its current 2024 iteration, where democracy has decoupled from capitalism, authoritarianism is widespread & war is prevalent.
