Neoliberalism, Postmodernity and the Reform of Education in Aotearoa/New Zealand

In this first lecture I want to begin by talking in broad philosophical terms about the concept of postmodernity about which there is much confusion and also fiercely held views. I want to provide a clearer understanding of this term, especially in relation to its sibling concept \"modernity\" and to suggest how both terms apply to Aotearoa/New Zealand.
