Summary:

Distinguished international scholars from a wide range of disciplines (including curriculm studies, foundations of education, adult education, higher education, and consumer education) come together in this book to explore consumption and its relation to learning, identity development, and education. Readers will learn about a variety of ways in which learning and education intersect with consumption. This volume is unique within the literature of education in its examination of educational sites—both formal and informal—where learners and teachers are resisting consumerism and enacting critical pedagogies of consumption.
