This book investigates the effects of information communication
technologies (ICTs) as techniques for neoliberal, or what we refer
to as "advanced liberal", governing within universities using a
regional Australian university as the site of study. It seeks to
demonstrate how the adoption of ICTs reconfigures universities as
sites of governing and constitutes the subjectivities of academics
and on-campus students as both the vehicles and the effects of
advanced liberal forms of regulation. Significantly, in focusing on
these processes of configuration, it draws attention also to the
localised practices that both enable ICTs to 'work' as techniques
of advanced liberal governing, and shape rule in novel ways
producing unintended effects. In general, the authors explore the
strategies and tactics through which ICTs are implemented, and the
effects this has on the way academics and internal on-campus
students are governed and govern themselves. More specifically,
they analyse the way information technology is involved in the
constitution and governing of the 'freedom' of the on-campus
student and to a lesser degree that of academics. The book argues
that the implementation of ICTs into universities is not an
unproblematic process whereby ICTs act simply as neutral tools to
improve the governing apparatus of universities. Rather, the
process of the implementation and use of ICTs for the governing of
higher education is a highly political, productive and ironic
process that changes the very concept and practice of the
university and the subjectivities of academics and students. In
particular, the book draws attention to the important issue of how
the educational practices of academics and students in association
with ICTs can serve to both contradict, and facilitate the success
of advanced liberal ways of governing universities.
