Social Theory and the Politics of Higher Education brings together
an international group of scholars who shine a theoretical light on
the politics of academic life and higher education. The book covers
three key areas: 1) Institutional governance, with a specific focus
on issues such as measurement, surveillance, accountability,
regulation, performance and institutional reputation. 2) Academic
work, covering areas such as the changing nature of academic
labour, neoliberalism and academic identity, and the role of gender
and gender studies in university life. 3) Student experience, which
includes case studies of student politics and protest, the impact
of graduate debt and changing student identities. The editors and
chapter authors explore these topics through a theoretical lens,
using the ideas of Michel Foucault, Niklas Luhmann, Barbara Adams,
Donna Massey, Margaret Archer, Jurgen Habermas, Pierre Bourdieu,
Hartmut Rosa, Norbert Elias and Donna Haraway, among others. The
case studies, from Africa, Europe, Australia and South America,
draw on a wide range of research approaches, and each chapter
includes a set of critical reflections on how social theory and
research methodology can work in tandem.
