Phenomenography in the 21st Century
Phenomenography offers a distinctive approach to studying human experience of the world, by highlighting different ways in which the same phenomena (concepts, objects, events) are experienced within any group of people. Phenomenography focuses on the relationship between meaning—people’s holistic understanding of phenomena—and structure, that is the part-whole structure of people’s awareness of phenomena. This structure of awareness then forms the basis for identifying differences in the experienced meaning of phenomena, and how awareness needs to change to allow new meanings to emerge—whether educationally, historically, culturally or socially. Over its 50-year history, there have...
The Poor Relation
What are the social sciences? What do they do? How are they practised in Australia? The Poor Relation examines the place of the social sciences - from economics and psychology to history, law and philosophy - in the teaching and research conducted by Australian universities. Across sixty years, The Poor Relation charts the changing circumstances of the social sciences, and measures their contribution to public policy. In doing so it also relates the arrangements made to support them and explains why they are so persistently treated as the poor relation of science and technology.
Development and Socialization of Academics
This special issue addresses the development and socialization of academics at the early stages of their careers. Through the contributed papers, the reader has the chance to reflect on a multiplicity of aspects affecting entrance into the academic profession: from strategies and methods for introducing academics to institutional values and dynamics, training in the first phases of academic development and agents involved in this process, to the obstacles and challenges socialization implies. The wide variety of topics addressed in this issue demonstrates that the academic profession is complex and that socialization represents an important step in academics’ professional life.

Beyond Doctorates Downunder
This is the third book in the highly successful Doctorates Downunder trilogy published by ACER Press. Beyond Doctorates Downunder is written for candidates in their final year of doctoral study and for doctoral graduates in their first five years after completion. The twenty-seven chapters are clustered around the key steps in finalising the doctoral process: concluding and reflecting, learning from experience, result production, strategic planning, and setting the course for the first five years after graduation. Thirty-three contributors from universities, enterprise, consultancy, government and the professions in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand have produced clear and engaging chapters on how pending and recent doctoral graduates can ensure that they and the community will benefit from their doctorates.
Researching Higher Education
"The first edition of Researching Higher Education has been a very helpful resource for those trying to make sense of the field of higher education. Malcolm Tight has accomplished a tour de force by updating and expanding that edition. This volume includes up-to-date analyses of recent higher education publications and thoughtful reflections on methodology and theory in higher education research. Requisite reading for novices to the field, but also for the experienced researchers trying to keep abreast of the developments in the field." Professor Jeroen Huisman, Director International Centre for Higher Education Management, School of Management, University of Bath, UK "The most comprehensive...
