Liquid Surveillance in the Marketized University

The neoliberal project to marketize higher education (HE) has resulted in the implementation and normalisation of surveillance technologies within the university (Williamson, 2018). Alongside this, there is a crisis of mental illness amongst students. In neoliberal society, there is a tendency to solve public issues with private solutions (Fisher, 2011). The private company, Solutionpath, posits their learning analytic platform as a resolution to the problem of student mental illness (Gascoigne, 2019).
