In this paper we discuss how recent developments tied to the current neoliberization climate, such as an increased reliance on publication metrics, percolate through the process of researchers training and education, casting a shadow over hiring, funding and choice of publication venue criteria, drawing on examples from Brazil and other countries. At the same time, we present a number of movements that have sprouted in response to this perceived undue influence and may open up new avenues for the academic community that allow for more diversity while preserving the university´s role in preparing and supporting new generations of researchers. We tried also to put in evidence the consequences and the possibilities that these resistance movements can bring to the field of environmental education.
