The Latin American Research Group Australia (www.latitudesgroup.info) has organised a half-day event on disrupting neoliberal discourse and practices from converting most of Australian academics and staff into ‘casuals’; students into customers; unreflective education into ‘active’ or ‘distance’ learning; degrees into paid licenses for future (un)employment; and surveillance over staff and competition among them into ‘performance’, amid many other commodified and autocratic paths taken by public universities today in Australia.
