Neoliberalism, Gender and Education Work
How does neoliberalism in the education field shape who teachers are and what they can be? What are the effects of neoliberal logic on students? How is gender at the core of what it means to teach and learn in neoliberal educational institutions? Neoliberalism, Gender and Education Work examines the everyday labour of educating in a variety of contexts in order to answer these questions in new and productive ways. Neoliberal ideals of standardisation, accountability and entrepreneurialism are having undeniable effects on how we define teaching and learning. Gender is central to these definitions, with care work and other forms of affective labour simultaneously implicated in standards of tea...
Routledge Handbook on Men, Masculinities and Organizations
This Handbook provides new theoretical and empirical insights into men, men’s practices and masculinities across many kinds of organizations and forms of organizing. Most mainstream studies of organizations, leadership and management do not seem to notice they are often talking a lot about men and masculinities. The Handbook challenges this general tendency to avoid gendering men by bringing together a range of theoretical and methodological approaches that: engage with not only formal organizations, such as businesses and state organizations, but also processes of organizing within and beyond organizations; address emergent and future issues on men, masculinities and organizations, such a...
The Future Agenda for Internationalization in Higher Education
The internationalization of higher education is a world-wide phenomenon, subject to multiple interpretations at national, institutional and individual levels. Still, much of the mainstream literature on this topic is concentrated on a small number of countries and a narrow range of key topics. To address this gap, The Future Agenda for Internationalization in Higher Education offers a broader set of perspectives from outside the dominant English-speaking and Western European paradigms, while simultaneously focusing on dimensions of internationalization that are known to be under-researched. Additionally, the editors give primacy to next generation perspectives, not only to amplify our curren...
US Education in a World of Migration
Given the protracted, varied, and geographically expansive changes in migration over time, it is difficult to establish an overarching theory that adequately analyzes the school experiences of immigrant youth in the United States. This volume extends the scholarly work on these experiences by exploring how immigrants carve out new identities, construct meanings, and negotiate spaces for themselves within social structures created or mediated by education policy and practice. It highlights immigrants that position themselves within global movements while experiencing the everyday effects of federal, state, and local education policy, a phenomenon referred to as glocal (global-local) or locali...

Exploring Consensual Leadership in Higher Education
Exploring Consensual Leadership in Higher Education explores the idea that the nature of academic work is both creative and consensual. Higher education relationships, whether between managers, staff, learners or the public sphere, are at their most effective when rooted in partnership, teamwork, collaboration and collegiality. The term 'consensual' is used because it situates new leadership models as structures based on consent, reflecting tacit traditions in education alongside ideas of leadership in other settings, including emerging industries. The aim is to celebrate achievements, encourage engagement opportunities, and add to the problem-solving knowledge-base. However, issues and prob...

Feminismos en el umbral de la academia
Desde hace medio siglo los feminismos habitan las academias. Trabajan sostenidamente en la adversidad de los márgenes y contra la subestimación que arroja nuestras perspectivas a los confines de las bibliografías complementarias de los programas de formación. Durante todas estas décadas hemos aprendido a pensar desde epistemologías críticas y a desarrollar éticas de trabajo que procuran navegar a contrapelo de las lógicas del mercado del conocimiento. El feminismo está en el corazón de cómo generamos conocimiento, cómo escribimos, cómo citamos, cómo y con quienés trabajamos, cómo publicamos, hablamos y hacemos sentido del mundo. Este libro es una reflexión situada en el con...
Queering Higher Education
This interdisciplinary and international book subjects key areas of inclusion in the global knowledge economy to critical scrutiny from queer perspectivism. Drawing on empirical data from diverse international contexts including Chile, Finland, Japan, Malaysia, India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa, and the UK, this book examines sites of affective antagonisms, fragility, and friction, and explores whether queer theory can provide alternative readings of contemporary pathways, pedagogical and research cultures, political economies, and policy priorities with higher education. Main themes covered include: The Global Knowledge Economy and Epi...
De la reforma a la transformación
Este libro busca reactivar el sentido de urgencia sobre la importancia de la educación en la construcción de una sociedad más justa, próspera y sustentable. A lo largo de sus 16 capítulos, el libro plantea que reformar sin transformar parece resumir bien la inercia de las sucesivas olas de reforma en las que se ha embarcado el país. Ya sea porque no apuntan en la dirección correcta, o bien porque fallan en su diseño e implementación, o en muchos casos porque si bien son acertadas, su impacto es marginal ante las múltiples fuerzas que frenan el salto a un sistema escolar que ofrezca, igualitariamente, aprendizajes significativos para enfrentar el futuro. Como resultado, Chile tiene ...
