Critical Administration: Negotiating Political Commitment and
Managerial Practice in Contemporary Higher Education explores the
challenges that higher education administrators face when
negotiating political commitments in the day-to-day practice of
university life. Jay Brower and W. Benjamin Myers have collected
reflections from 12 administrators, all of whom identify as
critical/cultural scholars, about how ideological commitments
affect their identities as administrators and the work they
conduct. Contributors reflect on how their academic training helps
them understand their role as administrators in higher education in
terms of central issues surrounding power, ethics, and identity,
and how they entwine with managerial responsibilities. Each
contributor focuses on specific experiences where their managerial
duties intersect with political commitments. Ultimately, this
collection provides opportunities to observe the challenges and
opportunities of performing ethical leadership in contemporary
higher education. Scholars of education, critical/cultural
communication, and administration will find this book particularly
useful.
As communicative, cultural, and political spaces, cities present a
vast array of racial, ethnic, national, sexual, and socioeconomic
experiences around which human communities take shape. This shaping
forms a germinal point of mass cultural life. City planners decide
where buildings and neighborhoods are developed, which ultimately
affects who residents interact with, how they get there, and why
they choose city life. From these experiences, boundaries and
possibilities arise that define cultures of "the city." In
Communication, Culture, and Making Meaning in the City:
Ethnographic Engagements in Urban Environments, contributors focus
on theorizing the notion of "the city" as a communicatively
constituted cultural space, drawing on situated, reflexive
ethnographic examinations of "the city" to show the complex and
varied ways in which cities produce social meaning.
