Thinking Rhizomatically in an Era of Neoliberalism

Abstract

During his instructional unit on evolution, Mauro, a first year science teacher, had an exciting idea for introducing his lesson on natural selection to his ninth grade environmental science class. He went to Costco and bought a tub filled with approximately 80 pieces of a wide variety of well known candies: miniature bags of M&Ms and Skittles, Tootsie Rolls, Laffy Taffy, Smarties, Twizzlers, snack-size Snickers and Almond Joy bars, and flavored lollipops.
