Heralding a push for higher education to adopt a more global perspective, the term ""globalizing knowledge"" is today a popular catchphrase among academics and their circles. The complications and consequences of this desire for greater worldliness, however, are rarely considered critically. In this groundbreaking cultural-political sociology of knowledge and change, Michael D. Kennedy rearticulates questions, approaches, and case studies to clarify intellectuals' and institutions' responsibilities in a world defined by transformation and crisis. Globalizing Knowledge introduces the stakes of...

Aujourd'hui, partout en Europe, le monde universitaire est confronté à des transformations profondes de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche. Les pressions commerciales, l’utilitarisme économique, la compétition internationale pour l’excellence et les contraintes de financement entrent en tension de plus en plus forte avec la mission d’intérêt public de l’université en matière de production et de diffusion des connaissances. Qu’ils soient chargés d’enseignement ou de recherche ou encore administratifs, tous les personnels des universités vivent ces transformations et ces pressions au quotidien. Leurs conditions de travail, leurs métiers, leur investissement dans le travail et leurs perspectives de développement professionnel, ainsi que leurs contrats et leurs statuts, sont au cœur de leurs préoccupations. Les organisations syndicales cherchent à la fois à relayer ces préoccupations et à anticiper les impacts du changement, dans une vision à long terme de la qualité du travail dans l’université et du rôle de l’université dans la société. Quelle place, au sein des institutions universitaires, pour la concertation et la négociation dans les relations de pouvoir et de contre-pouvoir ? Quel rapport construire avec les divers dispositifs de participation internes de l’université ? Comment rendre la gouvernance des universités plus démocratique et plus ouverte à la dimension sociétale ? Comment rendre l’université plus solidaire, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur ?

The objectives underpinning the policies to expand and widen participation have impacted on university provision to help students improve their general literacy and academic writing skills. This book examines how and why Students’ Skills Centres, (SSCs), gained such a hold in the sector, despite the contentious nature of the research evidence that challenges the notion of the applicability of generic writing skills. It is argued in the book, that on a small scale, SSCs illustrate the paradoxes and ironies that have developed in higher education. ‘.
