International Perspectives on the Governance of Higher Education
Essential reading for policy makers, institutional leaders, managers, advisors, and scholars in the field of higher education, The Governance of Higher Education analyzes how higher education systems of governance have evolved in recent years. An authoritative overview that questions why some systems of governance have persisted while others have experienced patterns of change, it further looks at how governments shape the policy-making process in higher education in an effort to secure particular policy outcomes.
Bright Satanic Mills
Recent years have seen a growing emphasis upon the need for universities to contribute to the economic, social and environmental well-being of the regions in which they are situated, and for closer links between the university and the region. This book brings together a cross-disciplinary and cross-national team of experts to consider the reasons for, and the implications of, the new relationship between universities and territorial development. Examining the complex interactions between the 'inner life' of the university and its external environment, it poses the question: 'Can the modern university manage the governance and balancing of these, sometimes conflicting, demands'? Against a bac...
Managing Organizational Responsiveness
Responsiveness - conceived of as an organization's ability to listen, understand and respond to demands put to it by its stakeholders - has become a crucial, yet underresearched concept in strategic change and organization development. Claus Jacobs develops a concept of enactive responsiveness that transcends the traditional stimulus-response metaphor by re-introducing the dialogical and relational dimensions of responsiveness.
Gender Studies and the New Academic Governance
What is happening to gender studies and gender research as emerging but contested fields of scientific knowledge in the conditions of the new academic governance? And which role do gender studies and gender research play in the current transformations in academia? All articles in this book make clear that the impacts of the new academic governance have global, glocal and local dimensions which have to be taken into account in analysing the state of gender studies and gender research at the end of the 2010s. From diverse geopolitical and sociocultural views the authors simultaneously draw a multifaceted picture of the current situation, criticise the widespread tendencies of the marketisation...
Schule führen im Spannungsfeld von Stabilisierung und Veränderung
Die Vielfalt der Ansprüche an eine Schule und deren komplexe Binnenstrukturen lassen sich durch ein professionelles Management erfassen und beherrschbar gestalten. Jürgen Rausch greift Erkenntnisse der Organisationslehre, der Führungslehre und des Personalmanagements auf und reflektiert sie an theologischen und religionspädagogischen Perspektiven eines evangelischen Bildungsverständnisses und des christlichen Menschenbildes. Er versteht Schulen als lernende Organisationen und setzt eine ganzheitliche Sichtweise voraus, damit Schule hinsichtlich ihrer Führungs- und Organisationsstrukturen wandelbar ist und im Bezug auf die Gestaltung ihrere Aufgaben stabilisierend gestaltet werden kann. Der Autor erläutert, wie Entwicklungsprozesse progressiv und ergebnisorientiert gestaltet, evaluiert und situativ angepasst werden können, um die Schule zukuntsfähig zu machen ohne sie als Ganzes in Frage zu stellen. Das Buch wendet sich an Sozierende und Studierende der Pädagogik sowie der Bildungs- und Sozialwissenschaften und an Akteure in der Praxis der Schulentwicklung.
Locations of Knowledge in Dutch Contexts
Locations of Knowledge in Dutch Contexts brings together scholars who shed light on the ways locations gave shape to scientific knowledge practices in the Dutch Republic and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This interdisciplinary volume uses four hundred years of Dutch history as a laboratory to investigate spatialized understandings of the history of knowledge. By conceptualizing locations of knowing as time-specific configurations of actors, artefacts, and activities, contributors to this volume not only examine cities as specific kind of locations, but also analyze the regionally and globally networked and transformative character of locations. Many of the locations which are studied in this volume are still visible until the present day. Contributors are Azadeh Achbari, Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis, Alette Fleischer, Floor Haalboom, Marijn Hollestelle, Dirk van Miert, Ilja Nieuwland, Abel Streefland, Andreas Weber, Martin Weiss, Gerhard Wiesenfeldt, and Huib Zuidervaart.
The University of Google
Looking at schools and universities, it is difficult to pinpoint when education, teaching and learning started to haemorrhage purpose, aspiration and function. Libraries and librarians have been starved of funding. Teachers cram their curriculum with 'skill development' and 'generic competencies' because knowledge, creativity and originality are too expensive to provide to unmotivated students and parents obsessed with league tables, not learning. Meanwhile, the internet offers a glut of information on everything-under-the-sun, a mere mouse-click away. Bored surfers fill their cursors and minds with irrelevancies. We lose the capacity to sift, discard and judge. Information is no longer for ...
The Role of University Governing Boards in Canadian Higher Education
This book explores the historical and social foundations of Canadian higher education and provides a detailed analysis of university boards within this broader context of university governance. By examining rich empirical data from a sociological perspective, it offers unique insights into the role of boards, and the structures and practices that frame their work. It explores board composition, the professional backgrounds of board members, how members perceive their role, and the complex relationships between the board and the university president. The authors also compare and contrast the Canadian experience with governance reforms in Europe and other regions over recent decades. Drawing o...
