Under attack
Based on a small-scale qualitative study, the article explores the perceptions of manager-academics on the state of the UK's higher education sector. Universities have been undergoing a process of marketisation for some time now, but recent changes to the regulation and audit of their activities - as well as uncertainty engendered by broader events - arguably make this a turbulent period for the sector. Despite a growing body of critical work on …
The Case against Education
Seeking to demonstrate that 'our education system is a big waste of time and money' (p.1),The Case Against Education presents a controversial argument that public funding for education at all levels should not only be reduced, but ceased altogether (with the exception of a means-tested voucher system at primary level) culminating in a 'separation of school and state' (p.6); bankruptcy of unprofitable educational institutions becomes an example of…
Luck, chance, and happenstance?Perceptions of success and failure amongst fixed-term academic staff inUKhigher education
What does it mean to attribute success to 'luck', but failure to personal deficiency? In 2015/16, more than 34 per cent of academic employees in UK higher education institutions were employed on temporary contracts, and the sector itself has undergone a substantial transformation in recent years in terms of expansion, measurement, and marketization. Based on two waves of interviews conducted with fixed-term academic employees at different career …
The neurotic academic
Based on empirical research conducted with academic staff working on fixed-term contracts, the article explores the subjective experience of anxiety in the UK’s ‘neoliberalising’ higher education (HE) sector. As HE undergoes a process of marketisation, and the teaching and research activities of academics are increasingly measured and scrutinised, the contemporary academy appears to be suffused with anxiety. Coupled with pressures facing all staf…
Embodying Deficiency Through 'Affective Practice
Based on empirical research with participants from working-class backgrounds studying and working in higher education in England, this article examines the lived experience of shame. Building on a feminist Bourdieusian approach to social class analysis, the article contends that 'struggles for value' within the field of higher education precipitate classed judgements, which have the potential to generate shame. Through an examination of the 'affe…
Working-Class Participation, Middle-Class Aspiration? Value, Upward Mobility and Symbolic Indebtedness in Higher Education
This paper interrogates the relationship between working-class participation in higher education (HE) in England and social and cultural mobility. It argues that embarking on a university education for working-class people has been construed in governmental discourses as an instrumental means of achieving upward mobility, or of aspiring to 'become middle class'. Education in this sense is thus not only understood as having the potential to confer…
Flat-capping it’
The article contends that working-class identities in Britain today are increasingly positioned as ‘valueless’. Emerging from empirical research with students and staff from working-class backgrounds based in higher education institutions, the article explores how some of the male participants in the project continue to identify in class-based terms. Arguing that a tendency to dwell on the past has opened up the possibility of a ‘valuable’ identi…
Struggles for value
This paper is about the struggle for value by those who live intensified devaluation in the new conditions of legitimation and self-formation, by which the self is required to repeatedly reveal its value through its accrual and investment in economic, symbolic, social and cultural capitals. It explores how this value struggle is experienced: felt affectively, known and spoken through discourses of injustice. Drawing on a small research project, w…
