Janice K. Currie, Janice Newson
R4,092 Discovery Miles 40 920 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

As we near the end of the century, there can be no doubt that the increasingly global political economy has affected the ways in which universities are governed; the daily lives of academics have been altered as well. In this new volume, editors Jan Currie and Janice Newson consider globalization as combining a market ideology with a corresponding material set of practices drawn from the world of business. Issues of managerialism, privatization, and accountabilityuall central values in businessuhave become primary for universities and their administrators as well. The selections in this book help illustrate the editorsAE contentions that globalization presents clear disadvantages as well as benefits to all citizens. GlobalizationAEs effects on higher education are not likely to be uniform nor are the outcomes an inevitable process. The future of the university as a place where society can examine itself critically is at stake and this volume will be a strong contributor to the debate. Universities and Globalization will be of great interest to those interested in higher education, the role of the university, and global institutions and practices.

The University Means Business (Paperback): Janice Newson, Howard Buchbinder The University Means Business (Paperback)
Janice Newson, Howard Buchbinder
R862 Discovery Miles 8 620 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This significant book explores the connections between the university and industry, and how these prevent the production and dissemination of knowledge beneficial to society as a whole. The authors also develop a new 'vision' for the university, opposed to both the 'ivory tower' concept and that of the institution as an adjunct to industry. They make a case for the transfomational role of the university, and for much needed public debate on the role of the university as a true public institution.

What purpose should the university serve? What are the true callings of academics? In Academic Callings, prominent Canadian scholars tackle these big questions and provide a timely survey of the state of the Canadian university. With so much current interest in the university's role in the economy, and so much emphasis on research tied to funding opportunities, this volume seeks to revive the idea of the university as it has been and could be again: a democratic institution committed to advancing critical thought and serving the public interest. With contributions from diverse disciplines - Classics to biology, nursing to sociology - Academic Callings aims to provoke a wide-ranging conversation, one that concerns everyone, whether as members of academic communities or as citizens. Contributors include Joel Bakan, George Sefa Dei, Barbara Godard, Paul Hamel, Dorothy Smith, Nasrin Rahimieh, Andrew Wernick, and more than twenty others.
