Opening the black box of digital activism in education in the neoliberal age: lived experience and patterns of use of social media. 330 $aDigital protest and activism in reaction to the consequences of neoliberalism in public education have become a global phenomenon in the second decade of the 21st century, emerging in countries such as the US, UK, France, and Israel. Teachers, parents, and other stakeholders in education are increasingly using digital media in their protest and activism efforts, yet these efforts have hardly been investigated to date. This book addresses this gap and employs an empirical exploration of the way in which Internet-based protest activity concerning public education issues is constructed, mobilised, and carried out. In doing so it provides key insights for the study of educational politics in the digital age. It shows how digital media is used by teachers and parents to create a bottom-up politics, spanning a common divide in the study of education politics between the macro (policymaking) and the micro (school) levels. The authors propose a novel taxonomy of uses of social media by digital activists, and argue that Internet-based social mobilisations develop different patterns of use of social media, based on the lived experience of their members and potential supporters. Finally, the book situates the rise of digital activism in education within the neoliberal restructuring of national education systems and the rise of neoliberal discourse of competition, budget discipline, and measurable achievements. The authors highlight three cases of Internet-based mobilisations in Israel, in which teachers and parents successfully affected public education policy. By providing a case-study driven analysis of digital protest and activism in education, this book will prove an invaluable text for researchers, leaders and practitioners in the field of education policy and comparative education. 410 0$aEmerald points. 606 $aEducation and state$zIsrael 606 $aInternet and activism$zIsrael 606 $aProtest movements$zIsrael 606 $aDigital communications$zIsrael 606 $aNeoliberalism$zIsrael 606 $aEducation$xEducational Policy & Reform$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aEducational strategies & policy$2bicssc 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aInternet and activism 615 0$aProtest movements 615 0$aDigital communications 615 0$aNeoliberalism 615 7$aEducation$xEducational Policy & Reform$xGeneral. 615 7$aEducational strategies & policy. 676 $a322.44095694 700 $aBerkovich$b Izhak$01106774 702 $aAvigur-Eshel$b Amit 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793972903321 996 $aDigital protest and activism in public education$93865674 997 $aUNINA
