Comparative Higher Education Politics
This volume provides an overview of the state of the art of research on the politics of higher education policy in Canada, the US, and Western Europe. Each thematic chapter combines an extensive literature review with original empirical work that further advances our understanding of policymaking dynamics in higher education. The book covers five key aspects of policymaking, namely the politics of governance as well as funding reforms, the role of interest groups, policy diffusion, and policy framing. These aspects are explored using a unique comparative design that combines comparisons within as well as between regions, and among the five key aspects of policymaking. The conceptual framewor...

Generation Rising
First there was the Arab Spring, then the Indignados, then Occupy Wall Street. And then there was the Printemps érable — the Maple Spring. In 2011, proclaiming the need for austerity, Québec’s governing Liberal Party announced a draconian increase in tuition fees. Enraged that the government would destroy a legacy of public education, so hard won during the 1960s Quiet Revolution — a legacy from which they themselves had reaped benefits — the youth of Québec took to the streets in a student strike under the banner of the carrés rouges. They fought not merely for education, but for the future: a future they watch being destroyed by the unrelenting march of capitalism, intent on th...
Can We Zoom into God?
When Zoom worship emerged in Britain during the COVID lockdown of 2020, Christians quickly turned to an art form, a form of theater, to deliver their worship. It was a quest for immanence, the very thing the Reformation dealt with by the elevation of transcendence. What an intriguing thought: Could John Calvin with his dictum regarding piety have practiced Zoom worship? Served as he was with the principle that the finite cannot contain the infinite, we must admit it looks very unlikely! At least in this Calvin saw eye-to-eye with Erasmus, but what of Luther? He may have been a comfortable Zoom worshiper, with his views that “Religious artworks are neither here nor there” and “We may ha...

Savoirs et environnements numériques
Préface de Dominique Kern Postface de Stéphane Allaire Depuis plusieurs décennies, les enseignants à l’université ont dû faire face à de nombreuses transformations sociales : nouveaux rapports des étudiants à l’université, nouveaux rapports aux savoirs et intrusion du numérique dans la pédagogie universitaire. D’abord méfiants, puis réfractaires, vis-à-vis l’outil numérique, ils adoptaient une posture ataraxique. Michel Serres (2015) n’a-t-il pas annoncé la mort du métier d’enseignant avec l’avènement du numérique ? Arguant que le savoir transmis n’était plus mobilisateur pour les étudiants. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui avec les environnements numérique...
