Faculty Challenges and Barriers for Research and Publication in Tajik Higher Education
This article investigates the current state of faculty research activity within Tajik higher education institutions (HEIs), where the level of research productivity has substantially decreased in the past three decades. As part of a larger ethnographic study on professional lives of Tajik faculty members, we investigated and found enormous challenges to conducting research and becoming active researchers reported by our respondents. We analyze an…
Gender and the academic profession in contemporary Tajikistan
This article attempts to describe the deleterious impact of higher educational changes affecting female faculty members working in Tajik universities in the post-Soviet era. Over the past two decades, the social and economic position women gained during Soviet times has significantly eroded, bringing enormous challenges to education and higher education access, completion and staffing. The demographic and cultural marginalization of women here ha…
Creating and contesting meanings of place and community in the Ylay Talaa Valley of Kyrgyzstan
Formal schooling was virtually non-existent before the Soviet power in nomadic Kyrgyzstan, as communal life and learning was organized informally at the household and clan level. During the Soviet period, however, educational success became an avenue to a new form of upward social and geographical mobility, and the school provided new and prestigious positions for local teachers and administrators. This paper explores how the externally imposed S…
Guest Editors' Introduction
Lost in Transition
Being a “student” has been and remains a highly desirable status for young people and their families in Kyrgyzstan. “Giving their children education” (dat detyam obrazovaniye) – meaning “higher education” - has become an imperative for many parents, even in a time of serious economic and social decline. The numbers of universities and university enrollments have increased dramatically – in fact quadrupled – since Kyrgyz independence from the form…

Embracing globalization
Kyrgyz government policy following independence called for the improvement and expansion of higher education as an important strategy to successfully enter the international market economy. Young people were to become a resource for economic growth and prosperity. However, even though the number of higher education institutions and enrolment levels have dramatically increased, the quality of secondary education, as well as the demand for professi…
Conceptualizing Paradoxes of Post-Socialist Education in Kyrgyzstan
Official government educational pronouncements and policy in the Kyrgyz Republic have called for wider access and participation in higher education as an essential part of the general strategy to build democracy and a market economy. The number of higher education institutions ( vuzy ) has increased from approximately 10 at the end of the Soviet period to 50 institutions, with over 200,000 students now in attendance. Various international statist…
The erosion of vospitaniye (social upbringing) in post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan
Independent Kyrgyzstan has inherited the Soviet school system, including vospitaniye as an essential part. Soviet social policy was driven by the belief that building communism partly depended upon the creation of the ‘‘Soviet man.’’ Such an individual would demonstrate unwavering commitment to aims of the October Revolution, and desire to undertake the technological and scientific training required to achieve collective purposes. The resulting s…

Constructing and Staffing the Cultural Bridge
Rural American schools still educate almost 28 percent of the nation's children, but only educational historians and rural sociologists have paid much attention to issues and dynamics of such places. Here, rural educators often intentionally teach and model national norms, values, expectations, and skills. Such teachings, they allege, are particularly critical to children's successful participation in the national culture, as rural communities ty…
Unending Struggles
Economic Underdevelopment and Its Effects on Formal Schooling in Southern Appalachia
The theoretically powerful relationships between education and economic development have of late completely transformed public discourse on educational practice and educational policy. Following in the wake of human capital and modernization theories, which were fully articulated in the 1960s and 1970s, recent calls to “make schools excellent” increasingly and explicitly argue that school improvements and enhanced educational outcomes produce wor…

Glorifying myths of public education
Public schools in the United States have posed peculiar problem for organizational theorists since sociologists first turned their attention to them. Early schoolmen seeking an organizational form for public instruction were impressed greatly by bureaucratic business organization and, by the late nineteenth century, had done their best to organize instruction based on their understanding of successful bureaucratic business models.' As many organi…
