Qualitative Inquiry in Neoliberal Times is written from the
perspective that the scholarly lives of academics are changing,
constantly in flux, and increasingly bound to the demands of the
market - a context in which the university has increasingly morphed
into a business enterprise, one that treats students as consumers
to be marketed to, education as something to be purchased, and
research as something to be capitalized on for financial gain. The
effects of this market-orientation of scholarly life, especially on
those in the social sciences and humanities, are ones that demand
serious examination. At the same time, qualitative inquiry itself
is changing and evolving within and against the rhythms of this
'new normal'. This volume engages with these emerging debates in
qualitative research over new materialism, 'data', public policy,
research ethics, public scholarship, and the corporate university
in the neoliberal age. World-renowned contributors from the United
States, United Kingdom, Spain, Norway, Australia, and New Zealand
present a global perspective on these issues, framed within a
landscape of higher education marked if not marred by efficiency
metrics, accountability, external funding, and university rankings.
Qualitative Inquiry in Neoliberal Times is a must-read for faculty
and students alike interested in the changing dynamics of their
profession, whether theoretically, methodologically, or
structurally and materially. This title is sponsored by the
International Association of Qualitative Inquiry, a major new
international organization that sponsors an annual congress.
