ABSTRACT
Social movements are challenging neoliberalism’s dual vision of education and environmental resources as a market system of privatized services (McCarthy and Prudham 2004; Mein 2009). Social movements institutionalize critical environmental learning as part of a larger anti-neoliberal project. Yet, how and why do social movements institutionalize critical environmental education in the very neoliberal educational system? I address this larger question by exploring the following three sub-questions:
(1) How do social movements access political programs and financial resources? (2) What facilitates the evolution of innovative educational institutions? (3) How can institutionalized education help movements train their members?
