Understanding educational work
This special issue documents and theorises ‘educational work’ that examines the ways in which adult learners, educators and policy-makers are remaking education as they navigate ‘hot spots’ created by the intersection of national institutional trajectories and globalising processes. Our aim in compiling this special issue is to address the question, how best to conceptualise, to document and to analyse – in other words, to make visible – the new …
The educational work of belonging
In an age when vast numbers of people are moving globally to pursue work away from their home countries, it is timely to consider who is moving and how these moves may be gendered and produce their own gendered impacts. This article explores how one group of migrant women are learning to live and work in a new town in country Australia. The women referred to in this study are temporary migrants with visas issued under skilled migration programmes…
Rethinking the subject of higher education
In this paper, I reflect on three questions arising from my recent research on student equity in higher education and gender in education. These questions relate to the goals, focus and politics of student equity research in the context of a changing higher education landscape in Australia. The paper concludes with an argument for student equity scholarship cognisant of, yet independent from prevailing policy imperatives and discourses
Learning to labour in regional Australia
This article considers how a group of migrant women in the town of Shepparton, Australia, understand their futures in the spaces created by globalising forces. Shepparton is a ‘case study’ of globalisation, at the centre of the movement of peoples, skills and capital globally. The issues it faces are compounded by profound climate change. The project uses collective biography to explore women’s experiences of working and learning in that place, a…
New teachers, mentoring and the discursive formation of professional identity
Where enterprise and equity meet
In this paper I use a governmentality framework to explore the growth of women's mentoring programmes in Australian universities over the last 10–15 years. These programmes are supported because they speak to institutional concerns with improving performance in a performative culture, while being seen to deal with the problem of gender inequity. I draw on the mentoring experiences of two women academics from a larger study to illustrate the ways …
Women, research and the politics of professional development
In recent years, a number of authors have applied Foucault's theory of governmentality to an analysis of the ways in which subjectivities are constituted in contemporary workplaces. The case has been well made that through the discursive practices of neo‐liberal reform of organizations workers have been reconstituted as self‐regulating, self‐managing subjects. In this article the author uses the tools provided in Foucault's work to explore the ro…
