Emery Hyslop-Margison (born 1957) is a Canadian professor of education, and an author of six books and numerous scholarly articles.
He held a Canada Research Chair with a focus on democratic learning in 2005–2007.
His dissertation argued for the liberalization of vocational and career education based on the concern that these programs indoctrinated students into a neo-liberal mindset (Hyslop-Margison, 2005).
Much of his work challenges contemporary neo-liberal values that situate economic objectives as the sole purpose of education (Hyslop-Margison, 2007).
Hyslop-Margison's most recent scholarship argues that neo-liberalism is no longer sustained through ideological manipulation, but increasingly through the use of brute force, or the repressive state apparatus (Althusser, 1971).
