Lacan and Education Policy draws on the rich conceptual resources of Lacanian psychoanalysis. Using Lacan’s four discourses Matthew Clarke offers a sophisticated critique of recent education policy and the neoliberal model of political economy within which it sits, including the ways in which education has been diminished and trivialised through the economistic and depoliticising moves of policy. Clarke articulates possibilities for thinking differently about education and education policy beyond the reductive narratives of neoliberalism. He argues that psychoanalytic theory is valuable, not so much for allowing us to see what education ‘really is’, but for offering insights into what prevents education from ‘being’, enabling us to shift our focus instead into the possibilities education offers as a space of ‘becoming’. The book suggests possibilities for conceptualising and creating ‘the other side’ of education.

Matthew Clarke is Professor of Education at York St John University, UK. He is the author of Teacher Education and the Political (2017) and co-editor of Education Policy and Contemporary Theory (2015).
