  • Reopening the political economy of higher education — ontology against and beyond capital

    Open AccessAndrew G GibsonARTICLEHigher Education2025

  • Rectors and university-societal engagement

    Open AccessLynn Mcalpine, Tessa DeLaquil et al.ARTICLEPolicy Futures in Education2025

    Globally, the past 10–15 years has seen universities experiencing increasing governmental reforms, including expectations for greater societal engagement. This places demands on the most senior university leaders to address and be seen to address these expectations. How do they situate themselves and negotiate their demanding role both inwardly and outwardly? We addressed this question in a case study of four rektors in four (of the eight) univer…

  • How do deans of humanities understand and enact societal engagement within their broader experiences of leading? A Danish case study

    Open AccessLynn Mcalpine, Tessa DeLaquil et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2025

    Globally, universities have experienced growing policy demands and societal expectations, including being engaged societal actors – with senior university leaders expected to strategically address these requirements. To understand the specificity of leadership around this issue, we focused on one disciplinary cluster, the humanities, often seen as particularly challenged regarding such engagement. We asked: How do Deans of Faculties of Humanities…

  • The debate on centres and peripheries in higher education

    Open AccessFlávio Krawczyk, Andrew G GibsonARTICLELearning and Teaching2025Referências: 11

    The concept of ‘centre and periphery’ has become ubiquitous in the study of higher education, especially in an international context. Through an engagement with the recent scholarly literature, we argue that simultaneously this concept has been decontextualised and naturalised. Its origins were largely forgotten and centre and periphery started to be descriptive of ‘the way the world is’. This article argues for the de- naturalisation of this con…

  • Introduction

    Open AccessAndrew G Gibson, Taina SaarinenARTICLELearning and Teaching2025Referências: 2

    This special issue is the result of three years of conversations and scholarly exchange, emerging from the Alternative Internationalisms working group of the ‘European Universities – Critical Futures’ project. This project, led by Professor Susan Wright and funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, allowed for the development of a network of seventeen European research centres, including both senior and early stage researchers, with the st…

  • The role and power of individuals in building a caring European post-pandemic higher education

    Open AccessMelina Aarnikoivu, Andrew G Gibson et al.ARTICLELearning and Teaching2025

    In this article, we explore the European post-pandemic higher education. Drawing from our research and experiences in Finnish and Irish higher education systems, we discuss how the post-pandemic higher education might, ideally, look. We base our work on the concepts of care and power-as-empowerment and influence . First, we envision an ideal post-pandemic university, inspired by previous literature. We then problematise the role of individual aca…

  • Who is ‘society’ in the societal impact debate? – A critical discussion of policies of closure

    Andrew G Gibson, Søren S E BengtsenARTICLEEducational Philosophy and Theory2025Referências: 41

    Discussions about the role of universities have long been framed in terms of questions of what is good for the public, as well as how and whether higher education serves that good. Today, the language of ‘societal impact’ has become an accepted way for policymakers to frame the matter, but just who is included in the underlying definition of society that this formulation presupposes? In this paper, we consider how ‘society’ has been constructed i…

  • Valuing humanities

    Open AccessLynn Mcalpine, Andrew G Gibson et al.ARTICLEArts and Humanities in Higher…2024Referências: 7

    Globally, the issue of research impact has grown as governments articulate policies around research as a contributor to economic and societal development, often through an econometric justification. This has triggered much discussion amongst humanities scholars in public formally-reasoned peer-reviewed texts that are rarely empirically-based. This Denmark-based empirical study used an individual biographical and historical structural framework to…

  • World humanities - Towards an ontology of policy

    Open AccessAndrew G Gibson, Søren S E Bengtsen et al.ARTICLEArts and Humanities in Higher…2023Citada por: 3Referências: 5

    The border-crossing nature of science is well recognised, and has long been a focus of policy-makers with an interest in governing this space. The international aspect of the humanities is less clearly understood, and the extent to which it has been a focus of policy is similarly not well conceptualised. UNESCO’s efforts in this area provide a useful corpus of texts through which international humanities policy can be explored. Drawing on Theodor…

  • Making gifts from contracts

    Andrew G GibsonARTICLECritical Military Studies2023Citada por: 1Referências: 47

    Officers of the Irish Defence Forces have studied at civilian university since 1969, with the introduction of a policy referred to as the University Service Academic Complement (USAC) scheme. In attending university through USAC, officers are obliged to sign a contract stipulating that they will repay the full costs of their time at university. This paper draws on a study of 46 retired and serving officers, to analyse how they discussed their car…

  • The Affective Researcher

    Andrew G GibsonBOOKAffective Researcher2022

    This timely book confronts this challenge of defining a new relationship between researchers and their research. It sets out, simply and accessibly, how you can become a more rounded, authentic researcher.

  • Infrapolitics and role abeyance

    Open AccessAndrew G GibsonARTICLEIrish Journal of Sociology2021

    Starting in 1969, the Irish Defence Forces began to send its officers to attend civilian university in University College Galway as part of their professional formation, through the University Service Administrative Complement (USAC) scheme. Using a conceptual framework that combines role theory with James C. Scott’s concept of ‘infrapolitics’, this paper interrogates how or whether full time, commissioned officers negotiate role tensions while a…

  • Producing Historicity

    Open AccessAndrew G Gibson, Andrew GibsonARTICLETextual Practice2021

    In recent years, it has become increasingly clear how damaging and virulent the obsessively ‘presentist’ orientation is that drives neoliberal and managerial ‘culture’. Its proponents abjure discourses of or on historicity, lest they encounter critical perspectives on our present situation. For that very reason we should be sustaining and promoting our historicisms as tenaciously as possible. This article argues that Foucault and Joyce, in their …

  • Desire

    Andrew G Gibson, Andrew GibsonARTICLETextual Practice2018

    Jonathan Dollimore's memoir is mainly about four kinds of desire: desire for danger, largely via speed, largely via motorbikes; desire for books, literature, learning and thought; sexual desire for

  • Agon of the times

    Andrew G Gibson, Andrew GibsonARTICLETextual Practice2018

    With reviews of his two most recent books as its basis, this Turning Point pays tribute to Thomas Docherty’s major endeavour to chart and indict the progressive decline if not the effective destruction of UK universities over the past 40 and especially the past 20 years. It summarises his project and considers his analysis, not only of the situation of higher education, but its relation to our larger cultural predicament, in detail, the problem b…

  • Arts and humanities research, redefining public benefit, and research prioritization in Ireland

    Andrew G Gibson, Ellen HazelkornARTICLEResearch Evaluation2017

    This article looks at the effects of a national policy of research prioritization in the years following Ireland’s economic crisis. A national research prioritization exercise initiated by policymakers redefined the purpose of higher education research, and designed policies in line with this approach. Placing research for enterprise to the fore, it emphasized the economic value that subjects could return on state investments. This article examin…

  • Aspects culturels de la « reconnaissance » et de l’expérience canadienne-française

    Open AccessAndrew G Gibson, Andrew GibsonARTICLEMinorités linguistiques et société2013

    Cet article offre une analyse de la structure des liens sociaux de la « reconnaissance ». Il met l’accent sur l’aspect culturel de la reconnaissance au sein de la relation entre les Canadiens et les Canadiennes de langue anglaise et leurs compatriotes de langue française. L’article débute en esquissant la perspective du philosophe allemand Axel Honneth sur l’anthropologie de la reconnaissance comme pré-condition sociale à la formation de l’identi…

  • Social criticism at home and abroad

    Andrew G Gibson, Andrew GibsonARTICLECanadian Journal of Development…2012Referências: 10

    This article develops a methodology of social criticism with both a national and international focus. The basis for this methodology begins with the precepts of locally oriented, domestic social criticism or what is referred to in this article as ‘internal’ or ‘connected’ social criticism. After outlining the general framework of this model, the author extrapolates from Michael Walzer's idea of “reiterative” universalism to develop what might be …

  • Just Above the Fray - Interpretive Social Criticism and the Ends of Social Justice

    Open AccessAndrew G GibsonARTICLEStudies in Social Justice2009Referências: 24

    The article lays down the broad strokes of an interpretive approach to social criticism. In developing this approach, the author stresses the importance of both a pluralistic notion of social justice and a rich ideal of personal growth. While objecting to one-dimensional conceptions of social justice centering on legal equality, the author develops the idea of there being multiple "spheres of justice", including the spheres of "care" and "merit".…

  • All Propagated With the Best Intentions

    Andrew G GibsonARTICLECultural Politics an International…2008

    Graham Greene’s The Quiet American is an “epochal novel.” It announces the inception of a new epoch at a decisive historical moment: on March 15, 1954, US National Security Council Directive 5412 came into force. NSC 5412 more or less coincided with the onset of the Cold War and made a political imperative of the absolute deniability of covert actions. It thereby ushered in a specifically modern form of innocence. Greene’s novel is about an early…

  • Mingle Mangle or Gallimaufry

    Andrew G Gibson, Andrew GibsonCHAPTERJoyce's revenge2002

    Eighteenth-century England saw an increasing concern with the state of the language. Many eminent figures shared it, grammarians not least. As John Barrell has amply shown, it was connected with the belief that the question of the English language was also a question of nationhood; in particular, that the language could be a powerful instrument for national unity. The language at issue was always the English of a few, the ‘men of letters and educ…

  • Waking Up in Ireland

    Andrew G Gibson, Andrew GibsonCHAPTERJoyce's revenge2002

    In The Lady’s Own Novelette for 24 June 1903, there is a story entitled ‘An English Usurper’. It is set in Ireland. The O’Donovans, grandfather and granddaughter, are being pursued by ‘moneylending Jews’ and their English creditors, the France family of Birmingham. In a climate of political unrest, they cannot raise loans, and must abandon their ancestral estate at Rossmore. Young Harry France travels to Ireland to occupy the property. He arrives…
