  • Who's Dean today? Acting and interim management as paradoxes of the contemporary university

    Erica Mcwilliam, Ruth Bridgstock et al.ARTICLEJournal of Higher Education…2008Cited by: 3References: 16

    Interim, discontinuous or 'acting' management is an increasingly ubiquitous feature of universities. This paper asks: What are the implications of this for good academic governance? Should we understand this managerial dance as a symptom of the collapse of good managerial order or, by contrast, as a symptom of the robustness and flexibility of the organisational culture of the university? Or both? This paper answers 'all of the above' to these qu…

  • Art, Life and Authority in Australian Literary Culture

    Patrick White: A Life, by David Marr, is up there on shelves all around the country, sitting alongside Poor Fellow, My Country. Or perhaps they're at opposite ends acting not as books but as book-ends. Icons. Signs of cultural currency. Markers of value, or of allegiance. As well as having intrinsic interest they also function as reverence books. White is, and has been for some time I would argue, firmly at the centre of the field of Australian l…

    Alan LawsonARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly1975Cited by: 2

    BY THE END of his long, productive life John Dewey had become as familiar part of the American scene as any man of ideas of the century. He reigned as aegis of progressive education, the final architect of Pragmatism -America's own philosophy-and the writer of so many books, articles, reviews and broadsides that it is hardly any wonder he has been so often mistaken for Melvil Dewey, the inventor of library classification systeml Yet there has lon…
