Historical foundation of the masculine role of university rectors in Poland
The underrepresentation of women in leadership positions within higher education institutions is well-documented worldwide. However, limited evidence exists on the historical roots of this disparity, particularly regarding university traditions and their impact on the masculine role of rectors. This study addresses this issue by reconstructing the historical accounts of rectors in Poland, as demonstrated in institutional histories, autobiographie…
Beyond the ivory tower: A survey of European university board members’ perspectives on institutional policy priorities
In most European countries, university governance models have undergone modernization, the hallmarks of which manifest in new (modernized) governing bodies (i.e., university boards and councils). These governing bodies hold power, both formal and informal, to influence institutional policy and are frequently seen as institutions encapsulating the changing role of universities. To address a paucity of research on the influence of these governing b…

University Boards and Institutional Governance After New Public Management Reforms: A Comparison Across Four European Countries
Retencja przez troskę? Systematyczny przegląd literatury badań nad doktorantami
Od lat 90. XX wieku systematycznie rośnie liczba doktoratów, a wraz nią ich naukowe znaczenie, któremu towarzyszą strukturalne przemiany w sposobie kształcenia, określane mianem cichej rewolucji. Dynamika tych procesów skutkuje również badawczym zainteresowaniem problematyką doktorantów, zwłaszcza na gruncie socjologii szkolnictwa wyższego. Celem artykułu jest: oszacowanie zainteresowania problematyką doktorantów; wskazanie krajów, w których zain…

And this paper examines the problem by focusing specifically on Polish public universities which historically stands out by particularly low number of female university rectors. The core of the study is based on 15 in‐depth expert interviews with female university rectors and vice‐rectors. The paper argues that the large deficit of female rector…

Who Pays the Piper, Calls the Tune An Analysis of Funding Formula Designs for Universities of Applied Sciences: Insights from Finland and Poland
From English to Polish Disease. Conceptualising hooligans’ setup fights and their diffusion across Europe
Możliwości wykorzystania crowdsourcingu naukowego do operacjonalizacji problemu badawczego w badaniach nad szkolnictwem wyższym
Operacjonalizacja problemu badawczego stanowi konstytutywny etap procesu realizacji każdego badania naukowego. Jednak jej przeprowadzenie jest dla badacza wyzwaniem, wymaga bowiem dobrej, pełnej i aktualnej znajomości analizowanej problematyki. Dlatego też coraz częściej zachęca się badaczy do poszukiwania sposobów czy postępowań, dzięki którym możliwe jest doprecyzowanie i zrozumienie w sposób wieloaspektowy zjawisk, które mogą stać się przedmio…

The power of policy translators: New university governing bodies in Hungary and Poland
The study investigates the reforms of university governing boards in Hungary and Poland. It seeks to fill that void and advance existing knowledge about the implementation of boards (councils) in CEE countries despite the great interest in HE dynamics in the region. The juxtaposition of the two countries is intentional because both share key characteristics, such as a common historical background (e.g. a communist past), geopolitical location (Ce…
Partners’, ‘mothers’, and ‘tomboys’. female football fans in the structural trap of assigned roles in Poland
The number of studies on female fans has recently increased, reflecting the growing number of women in the stands. Studies pay special attention to women’s identification and engagement in football fandom and the ways women struggle for recognition. However, they tend to marginalize the role of other actors in the process of feminization of football. This paper intends to fill this gap by describing the roles imposed on female fans by male fans a…
University Umbrella Structures: The Slovak Route to Institutional Mergers or Organisational Semblance of Plausible Policy Imitation
A cultural perspective of higher education governance reform in Poland: Divergent Interpretations by Rectors Across Distinct Categories of Universities
In 2018, a new governance law (Ustawa 2.0) modernised the institutional governance of Polish public higher education institutions. This article investigates the governance changes from the cultural perspective of higher education governance through a survey administered to all Polish rectors. Responses were analysed by splitting higher education institutions into three categories (traditional academic [comprehensive], specialised, and applied sci…
Proces boloński a socjalizacja studentów do akademickich wspólnot plemiennych. Analiza wzorów mobilności pomiędzy I i II stopniem kształcenia
Zasadniczym celem artykułu jest ukazanie napięć pomiędzy tradycyjnym kształceniem akademickim a wymogami procesu bolońskiego oraz konsekwencji, jakie one wywołują dla funkcjonowania poszczególnych dyscyplin. Koncentrujemy się na jednym z aspektów tego problemu – mobilności studentów pomiędzy I i II stopniem kształcenia – na przykładzie nauk socjologicznych. Odwołujemy się w nim do klasycznej już koncepcji plemion akademickich T. Becher i P. Trowl…
Breaking the deadlock of mistrust? A participative model of the structural reforms in higher education in Poland
Polish higher education provides a particular example of a system that, until very recently, has been largely reform‐resistant as it has a long‐standing tradition of bottom‐up ‘academic self‐governance’ at both the system and the institutional levels. This article explores the process of the structural reforms of the higher education system, commonly known as ‘Law 2.0’ (the original term being ‘ Ustawa 2.0 ’) which proceeded between 2016 and 2018…
Marginalised, patronised and instrumentalised: Polish female fans in the ultras' narratives
Since the 1990s there has been a growing number of female supporters following football clubs and there is little doubt that they have recently become an important part of the audience for both football authorities and clubs. The process of football's feminisation is neither simple nor is it taking place in a social vacuum, and female fans are encountering well-institutionalised football fandom culture, which is deeply entrenched in stadium ritua…
Bracia po szalu i sąsiadki zza miedzy. Narracje o męskości w środowisku kibiców piłkarskich
Sport, a szczególnie piłka nożna postrzegane są jako domena typowo męska, zarówno w kontekście zawodników, jak i kibiców. Poniższy artykuł dotyczy procesów kształtowania narracji o męskości w środowisku kibiców piłkarskich. Ma on na celu wyjście poza stwierdzenie, że świat kibiców to męski świat. Analiza zawarta w tekście dotyczy tego, jak męski charakter kibicowania jest kształtowany i podtrzymywany. Z tego powodu celem niniejszego studium jest …
Attracting International Students to Semi-peripheral Countries: A Comparative Study of Norway, Poland and Portugal
Missing the goal: Policy evolution towards football-related violence in Poland (1989-2012)
The article aims to analyse the evolution of governmental policy in regard to football-related violence in Poland. The investigation is seen through a broader political prism of the country's modernization efforts that were symbolically framed by two major events: the partially free parliamentary elections in 1989 and the finals of Euro 2012 co-hosted by Poland. The paper offers a discussion on policy dynamics stemmed from politicization and inst…

Czech and Polish Higher Education - from Bureaucracy to Market Competition

As the political history of the Czech Republic and Poland in the past fifty years is similar, the authors compare the countries' development in tackling educational inequalities and attempt to evaluate their policies and reforms from the beginning of socialism to date. Despite many similarities and identical outcomes in the past (no effect in lowerin…
