Biography
Maria Chalari is a post-doctoral research fellow in the School of Education at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece.
"This is an important contribution to the study of the consequences that neoliberal policies have on education. Maria Chalari’s book focuses on teachers’ perceptions and experience of the immense difficulties encountered during the darkest days of the Greek fiscal crisis (2009-2014). But more than this, this is a book that grapples with the important question of finding alternative ways forward, ways that resist to the erosion of educational thought by neoliberal ideology. This is of great importance today, as in many parts of the world education is ‘under siege’ by policies and practices that emanate from the entanglement between reactionary-populism and authoritarian neoliberalism."
