European and Latin American Higher Education Between Mirrors
This book aims to deepen the discussion about the goals envisioned, the roles undertaken and constraints found in higher education institutions both in Europe and Latin America in current times. This book addresses the controversies and challenges regarding globalising ideologies, policies, and practices at place. It questions leading concepts, epistemological axioms and sweeping transnational policies which are shaking core principles, traditional routines and local commitments of European and Latin American higher education institutions. It focuses on the motivations and consequences of transnational networking in academic life, on the impacts of the Bologna process, both its vision and implementation in higher education in Europe and its exportation to Latin America. This book also examines the defi nitions, translations and implications of concepts such as equality and difference, equity and solidarity, governance and citizenship and their signifi cance in organizational, geographical and global contexts of contemporary higher education both in Europe and Latin America.
Contesting the Global Development of Sustainable and Inclusive Education
Documenting the outcomes from three decades of transnational research conducted under the leadership of António Teodoro, this volume offers a robust scaffolding of the social and political context in which global education is being challenged by the contradictions of neoliberalism, globalization, deregulation, governance, and democracy. Contesting the Global Development of Sustainable and Inclusive Education presents outcomes from transnational studies conducted in response to global policies advocating the development of sustainable and inclusive education for all. Chapters map the impacts of globalization on education policy and consider how international organizations are shaping nationa...
International Handbook of Educational Leadership and Social (In)Justice
The International Handbook on Educational Leadership and Social (In)Justice creates a first-of-its-kind international forum on conceptualizing the meanings of social justice and leadership, research approaches in studying social justice and combating social injustices, school, university and teacher leadership for social justice, advocacy and advocates for social justice, socio-cultural representations of social injustices, glocal policies, and leadership development as interventions. The Handbook is as much forward-looking as it is a retrospective review of educational research literatures on social justice from a variety of educational subfields including educational leadership, higher education academic networks, special education, health education, teacher education, professional development, policy analyses, and multicultural education. The Handbook celebrates the promises of social justice while providing the educational leadership research community with concrete, contextualized illustrations on how to address inequities and combat social, political and economic injustices through the processes of education in societies and educational institutions around the world.
Science Studies during the Cold War and Beyond
This book examines the ways in which studies of science intertwined with Cold War politics, in both familiar and less familiar “battlefields” of the Cold War. Taken together, the essays highlight two primary roles for science studies as a new field of expertise institutionalized during the Cold War in different political regimes. Firstly, science studies played a political role in cultural Cold War in sustaining as well as destabilizing political ideologies in different political and national contexts. Secondly, it was an instrument of science policies in the early Cold War: the studies of science were promoted as the underpinning for the national policies framed with regard to both glob...
In Pursuit of World-Class Universities
The pursuit to construct “world-class” universities is an ongoing global obsession across the world, which lays emphasis on the development of competitive higher education and research systems as core national economic approach. The portrayal “world-class” is more contextual rather than absolute, the expression “world-class university” has an irrefutable cachet. There is no solo, clear-cut definition of what organises a world-class university (WCU), but there are few common attributes that majority of the experts point towards. The three attributes stated by Philip Altbach and Jamil Salmi that focus on a high concentration of talent, abundant resources and favourable governance h...
La Universidad cotidiana
La Universidad pública ha sido objeto de discusión académica tanto en lo que se refiere a su función social y a su identidad institucional y socio-política como en lo relativo a los cambios y transformaciones –más o menos evidentes– sufridos por sus actores. Este siglo XXI, que transcurrimos como parte interesada, no trajo claridad ni sosiego a estas discusiones; por el contrario, las profundizó y complejizó con un primer resultado positivo: los y las protagonistas estamos empezando, gradualmente y no sin conflictos, a aceptar el papel de sujetos de esas problemáticas. Entre las muchas líneas de discusión que surgen al examinar esta cuestión, este libro prioriza la que hace r...
Los cambios en la cultura académica de la universidad pública
El tema aquí abordado, con originalidad, rigor y dedicación, se basa en hallazgos de investigación a través de los cuales la autora de este libro ha definido algunas de las características principales de lo que se denomina la privatización del conocimiento público. Sin embargo, esta obra es más que el resultado de dicha investigación, es producto de la trayectoria de su autora, que muestra coherencia en los enfoques acerca de la problemática de la universidad contemporánea y una sostenida creatividad en los abordajes metodológicos de la universidad argentina en el contexto mundial.Este libro hace referencia a procesos de vinculación Universidad-Empresa y se basa en una profunda ...
Sumando voces
Este libro reúne treinta y tres textos diferentes, articulados a partir de dos ideas principales: el entrecruzamiento de una serie de aproximaciones conceptuales y su tratamiento a partir de perspectivas internacionales en torno a la idea de las relaciones entre la Educación Superior y la igualdad e inclusión social. Los textos son un conjunto de ensayos que abordan aspectos específicos, y por eso cada uno tiene entidad propia, pero al mismo tiempo están interrelacionados, manteniendo una coherencia temática. Algunos de ellos se centran en una sola noción o expresión (ciudadanía, gobernanza, cohesión social, género) y otros ponen en juego estos mismos conceptos con otros.
Tejer redes para la apropiación social de conocimiento
El libro constituye un escenario de diálogo e intercambio de saberes, concepciones, experiencias y formas operativas para dinamizar la esencia, el debate conceptual y la evidencia empírica en materia de apropiación social de conocimiento (ASC).
Regímenes de verdad en educación
Los aportes de este libro, sus marcos teóricos, sus problematizaciones, sus discusiones puedan contribuir de distintas maneras a visibilizar, problematizar y abordar críticamente la educación-escuela como forma históricamente específica cuya comprensión-interpretación se sugiere siempre desde sus conexiones con los distintos ámbitos del campo educativo y con los fenómenos más amplios de (re)producción de lo social y del sujeto.
