Reconciling marketisation
#HigherEdSeminarSeries
2024-2025
Understanding the political economy of higher education
From Wednesday 25th Sep 2024
What to expect
In this co-curated #HigherEdSeminarSeries, we seek to interrupt and break the discursive hegemony around marketisation. We intend to nurture new theoretical and empirical pathways towards visions and materialisations of higher education that are unstuck from the weight and efficiency of singular explanations and which are dialectically accommodating.
To do so, we will draw on the expertise of a multi-disciplinary community of field-leading thinkers addressing concerns related to the widest community of higher education scholars, higher education administrators, higher education support and membership organisations and funders, and higher education policymakers.
