A Real Challenge to Neoliberal Higher Education? Assessing the Outcomes of Ten Years of Higher Education Students' Protests in Chile
In 2011, Chilean higher education students led the most massive protests in two decades demanding 'public, free, and quality education'. The institutional consequences of the protests have not been properly studied until now. We assess students' institutional gains - in legislation, executive decisions, judicial decisions, and university policies - in all their demands related to neoliberal higher education. We show that the movement has had impo…
Monte Carlo evaluations of methods of grade distribution in group projects
Group projects are widely used in higher education, but they can be problematic if all group members are given the same grade for a project to which they might not have contributed equally. Most scholars recommend addressing these problems by awarding individual grades, computing some kind of individual weighting factor (IWF) from peer and (sometimes) self-assessments, which is then multiplied by the group grade to generate an individual grade. S…
Rational Legal Authority
Rational legal authority is a concept developed by Max Weber (1864–1920) to explain the stability of domination in modern times, especially in bureaucracies and democracies. A ruler is or has rational legal authority when she is perceived as legitimate by her subjects on the grounds that she has been given rights to issue commands by formal rules or laws. This entry defines the concept in relation to Weber's more general understanding of dominati…
The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
The German sociologist Max Weber is considered to be one of the founding fathers of sociology, and ranks among the most influential writers of the 20th-century. His most famous book, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, is a masterpiece of sociological analysis whose power is based on the construction of a rigorous, and intricately interlinked, piece of argumentation. Weber’s object was to examine the relationship between the develo…
Should I Trust the Bank or the Social Movement?” Motivated Reasoning and Debtors' Work to Accept Misinformation
How can people believe corporate and state misinformation even if a social movement organization in their community has been countering this misinformation for years? Why do people knowingly accept misinformation without even being upset about it? I address these questions by analyzing ethnographic data and interviews with 84 Chilean low‐income housing debtors, whom, like many Chileans, are victims of financial misinformation. While the state and…
Substantive-rational authority
Many scholars have questioned the thoroughness of Max Weber's typology of authority. The key problem has been that some empirical cases, such as doctors and Soviet leaders, cannot be accounted for by combining Weber's three pure types of authority. I propose a new solution to this problem by reconstructing Weber's conceptualization of authority - stressing the doxic (Bourdieu) backup of authority - and modifying his typology - adding a 'substanti…
Reasons and the Acceptance of Authoritative Speech
This article proposes an empirically grounded theory of the acceptance of authoritative speech beyond contexts of deliberation. I synthesize Habermas's and Bourdieu's influential theories on the topic by specifying factors that lead to either a prereflexive acceptance or a critical evaluation of the claims made by people in positions of authority. To do so, I assess each author's theses in four types of contexts covered by three empirical studies…
