The accumulation economy of private schools
Too few studies of elite private schools consider how they derive power and prestige from their relationships and interactions with other social and political groups and institutions, including the State. This paper contributes to elite school studies by examining the relationality between the Australian State and private sector schools around how government funds public and private education. Of all Australian students, 35.5% attend private scho…
The material basis of elite schooling
This editorial for the special issue outlines a framework for understanding the material basis for elite schooling. It examines how we can conceptualise the paradoxical nature of the relations between capital, the state and elite schools. It synthesises and summarises the papers in the special issue whilst developing a framework for considering the alchemical relation to capital, capital and class, philanthropy and money, the coloniality of elite…
Seeking the Necessary ‘Resources of Hope’ in the Neoliberal University
If academics cannot defend the university as a democratic
Action research in universities and higher education worldwide
Through a Glass Darkly
This collection of essays arose from a workshop held in Canberra in 2013 under the auspices of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia to consider the impact of the encroachment of the market on public universities. While the UK tripled fees in 2013 and determined that the teaching of the social sciences and the humanities would no longer be publicly funded, it was feared

Report on a field visit to Mondragón University
We have been investigating universities in our own countries for many years and are now turning our attention to exploring alternatives to current reforms. As part of these investigations, we spent two days of interviews and meetings at Mondragón, a town in Gipúzkoa in the Spanish Basque Country. Mondragón is at the centre of one of the largest groups of co-operatives in the world and in 1997 set up what is probably the only co-operative universi…
A Flat Earth Society? Imagining Academic Freedom
This paper starts from the standpoint that academic freedom is a necessary precondition to sociological imagination that challenges and defies the status quo. In the introduction, we consider the legacy of sociology as praxis - intended not merely to understand, but to change the world. We then move on to conceptualise academic freedom as requiring formal, infrastructural and psychic freedoms. We then chart the genealogy of universities from acad…
Accounting for Ethos or Programmes for Conduct? The Brave New World of Research Ethics Committees
This paper examines the operation of power and its consequences arising from the growth of new ethical bureaucracies in universities. We use the UK as a case study to illustrate more general points about the globalised nature and impact of such bureaucratisation. Our focus is on the social sciences as this is where, we argue, the impact is likely to be most marked. The paper is organised in five sections. The first introduces our concerns. Sectio…
Not‐so‐distant cousins
Recent trends in tax transfers have seen an increasing interdependence of tax and welfare systems in determining access to and the quantum of benefits, particularly in relation to in‐work benefits, such as family support. Both the United Kingdom and Australia have adopted family support mechanisms that appear to operate in a similar way, but closer examination of the detail reflects the differences in underlying policy in the two jurisdictions. T…
Commodified science and social wellbeing
Science
Pride and prejudice
Toeing the Line
This paper sets out the background and operation of the compliance cost assessment (CCA) procedure currently used in British Government and the objectives of a research project which aims to investigate it. A product of the general drive to deregulate, CCAs are designed to assess the potential impact on business costs of proposed regulations. The article outlines an initial set of questions which relate both to the philosophy and intended purpose…
