The superdiverse precariat of British higher education? Limpiadores revisited.

González Mitjáns's documentary Limpiadores (2015), which has been screened widely in Europe and won both the Learning on Screen Award (2017) and the 'Student Accolade' of the One World Media Awards (2017), has so far been largely ignored by academic research, although – or perhaps because – it fundamentally questions the neoliberal basis of that research. This study explores the challenges of its superdiverse protagonists – cleaners at London University – who suffer under precarious conditions. The author discusses the protagonists' situation as example of contemporary neo-colonialism, and suggests potential ways forward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El documental De González Mitjáns Limpiadores (2015), aunque proyectado en muchos países de Europa y ganador del Premio Aprendizaje en la Pantalla (2017) y el 'Galardón Estudiantil' de los One World Media Awards (Pla Revert, 2017), hasta ahora ha sido ampliamente ignorado por las investigaciones académicas, aunque –o tal vez porque- cuestiona fundamentalmente la base neoliberal de esa mismas investigaciones. Este estudio explora los desafíos de sus superdiversos y precarios protagonistas – limpiadores en la Universidad de Londres- como ejemplo del neocolonialismo contemporáneo y sugiere posibles formas de avanzar.
