Think tanks and the right to education: the hidden players shaping education policy

Researcher Lucas Felicetti Rezende joins host Rabia Najm Khan, a PEHRC fellow, on the second episode of the Public Education Now podcast to discuss his doctoral research on think tanks and the right to education in Brazil. He explains how such organisations go beyond producing knowledge to actively training political leaders and advancing pro-market agendas. Lucas also unpacks the different ways the right to education is understood, contrasting a human rights-based approach with the narrower, individualised conception promoted by these think tanks.
