This book examines current educational discourses based on market logic and analyzes how they undermine the notion of “the public” in public education by allowing private visions of education to define our democratic imagination.
To facilitate this reflection, this book offers the notion of public education as something that must be publicly imagined as a conceptual instrument capable of helping us understand the need to see the educational hopes of schools in the historical and discursive contexts in which they originate and to reclaim public schools as legitimate and necessary spaces for exercising our public imagination.

Encarna Rodriguez

USA. Professor of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, United States. Originally from Spain, Encarna worked as an educational psychologist for the Ministry of Education and Science between 1986 and 1994. During these eight years, she participated in the socialist educational reform that culminated in the General Education System Organization Law (LOGSE) in 1990. She documented this experience in her doctoral dissertation at The Pennsylvania State University in 1999 and later in the book Neoliberalism, Education and Gender: Critical Analysis of the Spanish Educational Reform (La Piqueta, 2001). Her research on neoliberalism and education has been published in journals such as Educational Philosophy and Theory, Journal of Curriculum Theorizing, and Revista de Educación. Encarna has also written on the internationalization of teacher education, research that has been published in journals such as Teacher Education Quarterly and Scholar-Practitioner Quarterly. She is also the editor of Pedagogies and Curriculums to (Re)imagine Public Education: Transnational Tales of Hopes and Resistance (Springer, 2015), the original English version of this book.
