Ā
neoliberalism, gender and Marxist theory
1. Neoliberalism,
education & class
āSince neoliberal language
does not acknowledge
that class exists, this is
never explicitly
acknowledged. It is simply
assumed that the market
model is universally
applicableā (Connell, 2011
pg. 59).
4. āThe main thing 'intersectionality'
is trying to do, I would say, is to
point out that feminism which is
overly white, middle class, cis-
gendered and able-bodied
represents just one type of view -
and doesn't reflect on the
experiences of all the multi-
layered facets in life that women
of all backgrounds
faceā(Telepragh,2014)
5. Theories of Power-Marxists
You are allowed to
bargain over wages
before the contract
with your employer
is signed.(Most, of
course, do not
because they are
desperate for a job
but, theoretically,
you can.)ā (Allen,
2011)
