The emergence of academic capitalism and university neoliberalism: Perspectives of Australian higher education leadership
Local food systems, citizen and public science, empowered communities, and democracy: Hopes deserving to live
Since 1984, the AHV journal has provided a key forum for a community of interdisciplinary, international researchers, educators, and policy makers to analyze and debate core issues, values and hopes facing the nation and the world, and to recommend strategies and actions for addressing them. This agenda includes the more specific challenges and opportunities confronting agriculture, food systems, science, and communities, as well as broader conte…
Perspectives of Australian higher education leadership: Convergent or Divergent Views and Implications for the Future
Leadership matters for the success of large enterprises and this is also the case for higher education institutions and universities. Yet, the public nature of universities and of academia means these institutions are usually highly dependent on external actors, in particular government. Viewed through a lens of distributed leadership, this paper explores how leaders in universities, national academies and government view and rate key changes ass…
Constructing 'Disinterested' Academic Science: Relational Work in University-Industry Research Collaborations
This article analyzes how exchange participants in university-industry agricultural biotechnology research collaborations manage and create differences between the academy and industry with regard to the open dissemination and commercialization of scientific knowledge. Our focus is on the constitutive relations that define the boundary between academic and commercial science. We identify a particular 'relational package' that formalizes and stand…
Agricultural biotechnology, socioeconomic effects, and the fourth criterion
Industry Perceptions of University-Industry Relationships Related to Agricultural Biotechnology Research
Following a rise in university-industry relationships (UIRs), scholars began questioning the efficacy of those relationships, as well as whether industry and university research interests and integrity are being compromised. Although many of these studies focus on the university, few examine the perspectives of industry participants. We conducted intensive interviews with 63 managers and scientists at agricultural biotechnology companies involved…
University Administrators, Agricultural Biotechnology, and Academic Capitalism: Defining the Public Good to Promote University-Industry Relationships
The theory of academic capitalism explains how federal, state, and university policies and people have expanded university–industry relationships (UIRs) and the commercialization of knowledge. These changes represent a profound shift in the way university research is expected to contribute to the public good. Because university administrators are responsible for creating organizational policies and infrastructures that are consistent with their o…
Empowering Communities Through Public Work, Science, and Local Food Systems: Revisiting Democracy and Globalization
Communities are the foundation of our society and of our overall well-being. Unfortunately they are experiencing rapid transformations that may significantly erode their capacity to remain viable and sustainable both domestically and internationally. Issues of empowering communities are examined in regard to social justice, challenges to democracy, and globalization of the economy and other sectors of society. It is argued that the ways in which …

Perceived Criteria for Research Problem Choice in the Agricultural Sciences--A Research Note
Since the seventeenth century, science and technology have been presumed to be chief architects of human progress. Of particular importance to this view was the fundamental acceptance of science as an autonomous institution, creating knowledge that is an accurate representation of a unified natural world and, hence, not subject to external manipulation. Recently, however, the assumptions, as well as the products of science have come under attack.…
Fostering Constructive Intergroup Contact in Desegregated Schools: Suggestions for Future Research
William B. Lacy, E. J. Mason, Ernest Middleton, Fostering Constructive Intergroup Contact in Desegregated Schools: Suggestions for Future Research, The Journal of Negro Education, Vol. 52, No. 2 (Spring, 1983), pp. 130-141

Relationship between work and nonwork satisfaction: Is it changing and does occupational prestige make a difference
This paper examines the relationship between work and nonwork satisfaction based on data from the General Social Surveys, 1972–1980, of the National Opinion Research Center. The research revealed that a moderate positive relationship exists between job satisfaction and satisfaction in nonwork areas such as family, friends, marriage, hobbies, and place of residence. In addition, higher job satisfaction was associated with perceptions of life as ex…

Are Educators Racially Prejudiced: A Cross-Occupational Comparison of Attitudes
Racial attitudes of school teachers, school administrators, other professionals, and general occupational groups are examined using data from six national samples gathered as part of the General Social Survey between 1972 and 1977 by the National Opinion Research Center (N = 9210). Respondents' attitudes were measured on the following topics: open housing, programs to integrate housing, interracial marriage, interracial social relations, segregat…
Assumptions of Human Nature, and Initial Expectations and Behavior as Mediators of Sex Effects in Prisoner's Dilemma Research
This research investigated the influence of assumptions regarding human nature, expectations of opponent's initial behavior and early game interpersonal behavior on subsequent levels of cooperation in a mixed motive, nonzero sum game. It was hypothesized that differential effects for males and females may be due to their different assumptions, expectations, and different responses to initial interpersonal behavior. It was found that: (1) women ha…

Value Accentuation or Convergence: Analysis of the Pattern and Process of College Student Change
College student value change was analyzed for individual and group value accentuation or convergence among a longitudinal panel study of students in a traditional, large liberal arts college and a small, innovative living-learning subenvironment. Initially students in the innovative environment were more liberal, socally conscious, culturally sophisticated and intellectually oriented than their counterparts in the traditional setting, and, after …
Membership in Voluntary Organizations and Support for Civil Liberties
The impact of membership in voluntary organizations on support for the civil liberties of individuals with unpopular political or social viewpoints is examined using data from two representative national samples (N = 3,014). Zero-order relationships between membership in 15 categories of voluntary organizations and support for the civil liberties of advocates of atheism, Communism, homosexuality, socialism, racism, and militarism are generally po…
