Psychometrics as performance indicator
In Danish universities, like elsewhere, there is an increased concern for students’ mental health and well-being. In 2018 the Danish government implemented a new biannual national student survey that focuses on well-being as a new indicator in the performance-based funding model. In this article we explore the survey, which is similar to surveys from other national contexts, and discuss the possible effects on students and universities. We draw o…
Studying as Experimentation
In this article, and through thinking-with John Dewey, we consider the nature of the experiment and how we, as students and scholars, from experiments learn how to increase our purposeful transactions with the world. We particularly emphasize how knowing, knowledge, and thinking, all prominent concepts in the literature about the purpose of higher education, are outcomes of experimenting with obstacles, problems, or possible paths and movements. …
The discursive production of misbehaviour in professional literature
Bad student behaviour is argued to be one of the major challenges for schools today. In response to the challenge, there is a strong body of literature aiming at fixing student behaviour. In this paper, we look into professional knowledge discourses regarding ‘bad student behaviour,’ focusing on one national context, Finland, to explore how disturbing behaviour is discursively established in the professional literature for teachers seeking help w…
Inquiry-based learning in the Humanities
In this article, we present a new perspective on how to combine inquiry-based, problem-oriented learning with practices in the Humanities. Our particular interest is how the initial phase of finding “the problem” can be undertaken in a conjoint way with students, that is in the form of inquiry-based learning where there are no pre-defined questions set by the teacher. Inspired by C. Wright Mills , we argue that “the imagination” is key to opening…
Interrupting the Psy-Disciplines in Education
This book offers critical explorations of how the psy-disciplines, Michel Foucaultâ s collective term for psychiatry, psychology and psycho-analysis, play out in contemporary educational spaces. With a strong focus on Foucaultâ s theories, it critically investigates how the psy-disciplines continue to influence education, both regulating and shaping behaviour and morality. The book provides insight into different educational contexts and concerns…
Turned on, Turned off
Through cacophonic story-telling, emerging from ethnographic observations from academic scenes in Australia and elsewhere, the article seeks to explore the timeliness and untimeliness of feminist knowledge production. Rather than arguing a particular point or making a claim for a particular position, it attempts to sense into the lived experience of being subject to, and of, turns in social theory. As a whole the paper seeks to work with and allo…
Education Policy and Contemporary Theory
Special’ non-human actors in the ‘inclusive’ early childhood classroom
It is well established in research that early childhood classrooms are one of the most controlled environments during the human life course. When control is discussed, the enactment of regulatory frameworks and various discourses are analysed but less focus is paid on the materialities of classrooms. In this article, we pay attention to ‘special’ non-human actors present in an ‘inclusive’ early childhood classroom. These ‘special’ non-human actor…
What crisis of representation? Challenging the realism of post-structuralist policy research in education
Offered through a split-text, this article mounts/destabilises the argument that policy research that cites authors usually associated with post-structural thought and which is published in a mainstream education policy journal is overwhelmingly realist in its ontologising practices. It reminds the reader why that is problematic and calls for a stronger post-realist praxis
Re-signifying subjectivity? A narrative exploration of 'non-traditional' doctoral students' lived experience of subject formation through two Australian cases
Doctoral supervision continues to be an interesting pedagogical site. As the university changes, so do the expectations and circumstances for doctoral education, including supervision. Although it is unhelpful to overstate the homogeneity of the doctoral student body of the past, there is no doubt that global and local changes to higher education have diversified the doctoral student body in Australia. This article explores the doctoral student e…
Det her føles helt rigtigt. En note i forbindelse med Dorthe Staunæs' tiltrædelsesforelæsning
og Danmarks Paedagogiske Universitetsskole har gjort sig et maegtigt scoop i deres nylige professoransaettelse af Dorthe Staunaes.Her har vi en intellektuel kapacitet og energi af en hel saerlig art, som praecist kropsliggør, hvad mange af os forventer os af eller håber på med en professortitel.Dorthe er på ingen måde ukendt af os som haenger ud i dansk kønsforskningssammenhaenge, og det er dejligt, at vi med publiceringen af til
Cutting Edge(s)
Through a performance piece, an ethnographic drama, the article explores what might be called academic category boundary work, around the use of nonmainstream forms of data (autoethnography)-or this is at least one possible reading of the drama. In general, the ethnographic drama is an interesting form of postfoundational scholarship in that it is both (or neither) data and analysis; it troubles the desires for transparency and real-reality that …
In/Difference in the neoliberalised university
In this article the authors take up the invitation to respond to the previous articles in the special issue. They discuss why it is so difficult to speak and write about gender and sexuality, and difference more generally, in the neoliberalised university. They make the case that the neoliberal university engages and uses categorical difference, and the individuals inhabiting these, mainly for auditing purposes. The authors develop the argument t…
Resistance and enrolment in the enterprise university
We are now at a point in higher education policy studies where we know that neoliberal discursive rationalities and practices are prevalent in the contemporary enterprise university, and we are beginning to get a sense of their impact on academic work and subjectivities. The article asserts that a more pressing question is how to powerfully and effectively resist neoliberalisation. The article investigates the conditions of possibility for resist…
Neoliberal technologies of subject formation
The hegemony of neoliberalism as an economic and Governmental rationality on a global scale is well documented. How it has come to be that way, and how its relevance is upheld is a complex theoretical and historical–empirical question. This article contributes to the discussion by examining the ways in which neoliberal discourse enters into the production of subjectivity and comes to operate at the level of desire. While subject formation takes p…
The ‘good life’ and the ‘rich portfolio’
This paper explores the ways two young women, living in Australia, make sense of themselves, their activities, and futures. The two young women come from two different schooling contexts—a prestigious private school and a government school. We analyse their self‐narratives in relation to neoliberal discourse, and consider how, and with what effects, their school contexts privilege and make available neoliberal discourses, and work to produce diff…
The Conduct of Concern
Drawing on material collected amongst Danish and Australian humanities and social science academics, the article illustrates and problematises a particular and recurring discursive practice amongst academics: ‘the conduct of concern’. Conceptualising the conduct of concern as an exclusionary and de‐legitimising discursive practice, the article offers a (mis)reading of some of the storylines and constructions it could be seen to invoke and reprodu…
A day at the office at the University of Borderville
This paper offers a narrative, an ethnographic short story, which the author created from material that she generated through extensive fieldwork and interviews with Australian and Danish researchers in the social sciences and humanities. The material was generated as part of the author’s doctoral study. Inspired by the detailed descriptions of everyday life in the (natural) science laboratory, she offers an ethnographic narrative of a (possible)…
Negotiating academicity
While doctoral education and postgraduate supervision might be heavily researched in the context of ‘effective supervision’, this is still an acutely under‐theorised field. This article responds to the call for more explicit theorising of postgraduate supervision by exploring doctoral education as academic subjectification, and supervision as a process of ‘category boundary work’. It is argued that postgraduate supervision entails a relationship …
Neo-liberal discourse in the Academy
In this article we analyse the ways in which neo-liberalism is taken up in the discourses and practices of university life. In the ‘knowledge economy’ it might be thought that intellectual work would flourish. Yet the neo-liberal technologies through which universities and individual academics are made into entrepreneurs and made ‘productive’ are at risk of undermining the very source of knowledge production that they are intended to promote. In …
The Ambivalent Practices of Reflexivity
Reflexivity involves turning one's reflexive gaze on discourse-turning language back on itself to see the work it does in constituting the world. The subject/researcher sees simultaneously the object of her or his gaze and the means by which the object (which may include oneself as subject) is being constituted. The consciousness of self that reflexive writing sometimes entails may be seen to slip inadvertently into constituting the very (real) s…
