Inhalt: "Internationalization and international mobility, inclusiveness, excellence and funding are themes high on the higher education agenda. There is no shortage of literature on them, and there are conferences galore devoted to them. But they are usually dealt with in isolation, which leads to a distorting 'single issue' view of higher education. This book - and the conference it emerged from - tried to avoid this mistake. It looks at the 'inter-relationships' between the four issues. Can a socially inclusive and responsible university also achieve academic excellence? Can only rich universities be truly international, or do universities become rich through internationalization? Is excellence possible without strong funding, or does it presuppose it? These are only some of questions which this volume addresses. The ten contributions developed out of presentations given at the 2012 Annual Conference of the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA). The production of this book, as well as the above-mentioned conference, was supported by the European Commission in the framework of its Lifelong Learning Program." (publisher's description).

Das Problem Universität : eine internationale und interdisziplinäre Debatte zur Lage der Universitäten

Inhalt: "Im Sommersemester 2010 wurde an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität in Münster vom Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft eine internationale Ringvorlesung unter dem Titel 'Universität am Scheideweg' ausgerichtet, die diesem Sammelband zu Grunde liegt. Im Unterschied zu vielen gleichlautenden Veranstaltungen, welche die Neuerfindung der Universität im Zuge der 'Harmonisierung' des europäischen Hochschulwesens problematisiert und dokumentiert haben, wird in dieser Publikation die in Europa angestrebte Vereinheitlichung der Studiengänge als ein Prozess beschrieben, der in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Ausrichtung der Universität seit der sogenannten Bildungsexpansion in den 1970er Jahren angelegt ist. Auch wird die weit verbreitete Annahme, dass der europäischen Hochschulreform das angelsächsische Bildungssystem bzw. Bildungsverständnis zu Grunde liege, kritisch geprüft. Nicht zuletzt deshalb wird ein besonderer Blick auf die Hochschulentwicklung in Frankreich und in den USA geworfen. Ergänzt wird die problemgeschichtliche Studie zur Lage der Universitäten und der Wissenschaft durch eine Analyse des studentischen Protests und eine Stellungnahme der Gewerkschaft Erziehung und Wissenschaft (GEW)."

Inhalt: "For the last twenty years gender equality has been on the agenda of national higher education policies both within Europe and beyond it. Previous research in this area has produced numerous case studies about programmes at institutions of higher education as well as reports about national policies. Building on this material, the authors of this book analyse under which circumstances equality programmes are successful In order to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of and barriers to gender equality in higher education this book presents comparative studies and research focusing on the development of gender equality policies in different countries, as well as studies on the conditions for implementing policies, changes in strategies and the evaluation of gende equality programmes."

Key challenges to the academic profession : UNESCO Forum on Higher Education Research and Knowledge ; International Centre for Higher Education Research Kassel

Kogan, Maurice; Teichler, Ulrich
Quelle: Workshop "The Changing Academic Profession"; Kassel: Jenior (Werkstattberichte / Universität Kassel, Internationales Zentrum für Hochschulforschung -INCHER-, Nr. 65), 2007. 220 S.
Inhalt: "The academic profession all over the world has experienced substantial and rapid changes of its societal, institutional and academic environment. The gradual move towards the knowledge society provided opportunities for a growth of the number of academics but the challenges to reconsider the professional role were by no means without any hardship. The authors of this volume address four areas of key challenges to the academic profession. What do the rising expectations to generate and disseminate relevant knowledge mean: a leap from 'scholarship of discovery' to 'scholarship of application' or new combinations of discovery with social, economic and cultural implications? How does internationalisation affect academics: as a step towards a cosmopolitan academic world or as legalistic competition on world scale? How does the growing power of institutional management shape the academic role: Does the dependent 'knowledge worker' substitute the 'republic of scholars', or is there a new space for academic freedom and responsibility? What does the expansion of graduate education mean: an extension of school-type learning towards the doctorate, or an increased chance of open discourse between senior academics and academics in their formative years? The papers comprised in this volume were presented to a workshop held on 5-6 September 2006 in Kassel, Germany. It was initiated and supported by the Regional Scientific Committee Europe and North America of the UNESCO Forum for Higher Education, Research and Knowledge, jointly prepared with scholars collaborating in the international comparative survey 'The Changing Academic Profession' scheduled for 2007, and locally organized by the International Centre for Higher Education Research, University of Kassel. The authors addressed the challenges named both comparatively and with emphasis on the experiences from their countries." (author's abstract).
