Profit, prestige and the liberal arts in the “neoliberal” academy: Observations from Canada

  • Alan Smart University of Calgary, Canada

Abstract

I argue that the Canadian academy, at least, is not neoliberal in the sense of acting as a profit-seeking corporation. Rather it serves the agenda of the corporate sector while operating under what is better seen as a symbolic economy of prestige and status.
