Transformational geographies of academic advocacy
This article provides new insights into critical historical geographies of the university by examining how Berkeley's highly politicized campus environment of the 1960s both shaped and was reshaped by the institutionalization of academic advocacy. We center our analysis on the first ombudsperson of the University of California (UC) system to understand how their advocacy helped with safeguarding the rights, bodies, and spaces of students and fell…
Student activism, translocality, and social justice
This introductory article frames the Globalisation, Societies and Education special issue on ‘Student activism, translocality and social justice.’ We discuss the three central concepts – student activism, translocality, and social justice – and consider how they intersect in contemporary student political engagement. Rather than restricting student activism to large-scale protest events, we highlight how it also takes shape through everyday pract…
Articulating social justice
This article focuses on students’ use of everyday activism to promote social justice at their university and in wider society. Drawing on empirical material from Denmark, it analyses how student everyday activism that targets seemingly ‘local’ practices or norms at a given university shape and is shaped by ‘more-than-local’ connections and perspectives. In their everyday activism (online and offline), the students work on themselves and others an…

Ytringer der krænker
Debatter om ytringsfrihed, inklusion og krænkelsesparate studerende har i de senere år fyldt meget både på universiteterne og i den større offentlighed. Med afsæt i en sag om udklædninger og landelege under et introforløb fokuserer jeg i artiklen på betydningen af humor, og hvordan (humoristiske) ytringer på universitetet forhandles i et krydsfelt mellem universelle rettigheder, institutionelle normer og værdier og individers oplevelse af at bliv…
Part 3
Seven authors reflect on Sue's contribution to developing the ‘Anthropology of Policy’ and its growth as a new sub-field of political anthropology since the 1990s. They show how her focus on policy brought together her earlier concerns with organisations, power and processes of social transformation with critical and reflexive perspectives on language, higher education reform and regimes of audit and accountability

Policy Worlds
There are few areas of society today that remain outside the ambit of policy processes, and likewise policy making has progressively reached into the structure and fabric of everyday life. An instrument of modern government, policy and its processes provide an analytical window into systems of governance themselves, opening up ways to study power and the construction of regimes of truth. This volume argues that policies are not simply coercive, c…
Economies of Coworking
The past fifteen years have seen a rapid growth in the number of coworking spaces worldwide. In the research literature, these spaces, in which start-up entrepreneurs and other self-employed people form professional and social networks, are often understood either as a manifestation of increasingly precarious forms of work within neoliberal capitalism or as a solidary alternative to this form of individualizing and competitive economy. Drawing on…
Higher education gone global
In order to prosper as a so-called knowledge society in a global economy, countries worldwide are increasingly emphasising the need to internationalise their higher education institutions and attract the best and brightest students and staff from abroad. This article explores the shifting rationales for internationalisation and how today, based on novel forms of comparability and exchange, a new and highly stratified arena for higher education is…
Antropologiske Krumspring I Et Videnssamfund
Taking its point of departure in their recent fieldwork, the authors explore the concept of knowledge in two different ways. How is scientific knowledge conceived in the debate surrounding the passage of the new Danish legislation on universities? And how is it possible to work with knowledge in the form of humanistic research as object of anthropological enquiry? In anthropology, knowledge, in relation to research has especially been studied reg…
