Changes in university ‘autonomy’ with successive visions of Denmark’s future
The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on higher education governance in Europe
Universities, as public organisations, exemplify three competing institutional logics regarding governance. First, the state wields considerable control over universities through a Weberian bureaucratic logic. Second, university managers have been granted increased autonomy under a neoliberal, managerial logic. Third, a traditional academic logic involves a high degree of self-regulation and peer control. The country-specific ways in which this b…
Gender, sexual orientation, and mental health in the kink community
A growing literature on kink practitioners reveals a complex picture of elevated risk of suicidal behaviors co-occurring with reduced reports of negative mental health outcomes. A key to understanding this conflicting pattern may be through identifying specific risk and protective mechanisms among distinct subgroups of kink practitioners. Comparisons in the health of kink practitioners based on gender and sexual orientation are currently lacking …

Art educators’ professional learning
Opportunities to interrogate praxis through professional learning and reflection is common for school teachers but is not straightforward or as frequently practised by tertiary educators, particularly from across different universities. In this article, the authors who are arts educators from various universities explore a framework that focuses on ‘quality’ visual art education. The aim was to ascertain if an ontology could be enacted to inform …
Danish university governance reforms
This article analyses the process of reforming the governance of Danish universities, from an anthropological perspective. Observers saw that the assemblage of steering concepts, tools and mechanisms in the 2003 Danish university law could be articulated in two contrary ways: one would make the university into a power force with ideas that exceeded the government's imagining of the future; the other turned the university into a tightly steered se…
Disclosing and Reporting of Consent Violations Among Kink Practitioners in the United States
Kink practitioners are marginalized and experience adverse health and social outcomes, which are exacerbated by consent violations. This study aims to understand experiences of reporting consent violations within a kink context. Kink practitioners ( N = 2,888) completed a survey focused on consent violations, reporting, and recommendations, with 767 (25.56%) of them reporting consent violations in the kink context. The type of consent violation (…
Applications of Anthropology
At the beginning of the twenty-first century the demand for anthropological approaches, understandings and methodologies outside academic departments is shifting and changing. Through a series of fascinating case studies of anthropologists’ experiences of working with very diverse organizations in the private and public sector this volume examines existing and historical debates about applied anthropology. It explores the relationship between the…
Hunting for points
This paper analyses the effects of research assessment on the overall research practices of academics. Case study research was conducted in departments from two contrasting disciplines – the natural sciences and the humanities – in one research intensive Danish university. The case studies examined academics’ and administrators’ experiences of a national bibliometric indicator (BFI) used for research assessment. PhD students and early career rese…
Rethinking gender equity in the contaminated university
This paper offers a new way to engage with gender, race, and class relations in academic leadership and organizations. Viewing our research materials through different images helps us to ask new questions, open up new kinds of answers and ultimately other ways of knowing gender and leadership in academia. Our approach has three connected steps. Firstly, we engage with the ruins of the three main promises upon which the contemporary university has…
Sexual violence victimization and suicide
Sexual violence victimization is a prevalent public health concern. However, little research has investigated the factors linking sexual violence victimization to suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). The current study tested the applicability of the psychological mediation framework, a coping‐mental health model, for the prevention of STBs among victims of sexual youviolence. Furthermore, the current study explored whether sexual orientation m…
The role of bibliometric research assessment in a global order of epistemic injustice
In this paper, we consider, from critical perspectives, the ways in which research assessment governs the production of academic knowledge and can contribute to epistemic injustices. This issue is examined through a fieldwork study in 2018 of the implications of the Danish Bibliometric Indicator for research in a humanities department of a research-intensive Danish university. We draw on Connell’s Southern Theory in conjunction with Bourdieu’s wo…

How the Big 4 got big
New calculative techniques of management and accountancy are having a transformative effect on organisations, individuals and society. These processes are often associated with contemporary neoliberal capitalism, but what exactly is driving the proliferation of these measurement systems and how is this change actually occurring? We address these questions by exploring the history of the Big 4 international accountancy firms and their role in spre…

I’m like a snail carrying my entire house with me’
EU policies promote mobility as a part of contemporary doctoral education. EU-funded doctoral candidates are expected to move country, establish international research networks; travel for workshops, conferences and research stays abroad; and collaborate across disciplines as well as work in other sectors during their doctoral training. As far as EU policies are concerned, competence in all these ‘mobilities’ is essential for future knowledge wor…
The intersection of interpersonal and self-directed violence among general adult, college student and sexually diverse samples
BACKGROUND: Suicide and interpersonal violence (i.e. victimization and perpetration) represent pressing public health problems, and yet remain mostly addressed as separate topics. AIMS: To identify the (1) frequency and overlap of suicide and interpersonal violence and (2) characteristics differentiating subgroups of violence-related experiences. METHODS: A health survey was completed by 2,175 respondents comprised of three groups: college studen…
Reevaluating the Concrete–Explanatory Animation Creation as a Digital Catalyst for Cross-Modal Cognition
This article explores the relationship between abstract and concrete as categories of knowledge and Wilensky’s (1991) theory that all ideas are abstract until they become concrete. Dewey (1910/1997) made a similar claim by suggesting that ideas are initially beyond our comprehension until they have become consolidated. This article documents the evolving mental models of 11- and 12-year-old children as they designed and made explanatory animation…

Recreating universities for the public good
This special issue focuses on universities run by and for the benefit of students, academics and the public. Three contributions cover existing initiatives from ‘free’ universities and other long-established institutions that are fee-free and where students and faculty are central to their operations and governance.1 Other contributions focus on using tried and tested participatory organisational structures to create alternatives to the deteriora…

Anthropology of policy
Arguing that policy has become an increasingly central concept and instrument in the organisation of contemporary societies and that it now impinges on all areas of life so that it is virtually impossible to ignore or escape its influence, this book argues that the study of policy leads straight into issues at the heart of anthropology

Audit Culture Revisited
The spread of the rationality and techniques of financial accounting into new systems for measuring, ranking and auditing performance represents one of the most important and defining features of contemporary governance. Audit procedures are redefining accountability, transparency, and good governance and reshaping the way organisations and individuals have to operate. They also undermine professional autonomy and have unanticipated and dysfuncti…

Discrimination of SM-Identified Individuals
The belief that sadomasochism (SM) is violence or abusive behavior has resulted in harassment, physical attacks, and discrimination against SM-identified individuals. Historically, they were often opposed by self-identified feminists. One reason the women who practiced SM were targeted was the official opposition to sadomasochistic practices promulgated by the National Organization for Women (NOW). Current statistics of incidents of discriminatio…
Getting the Measure of Academia
Audit culture and the politics of accountability are transforming not just universities and their role in society, but the very notions of society, academics and students. The modern 'university of excellence' applies a totalising and coercive commensurability to virtually every aspect of university life, from research output and teaching quality to parking space. But more than this, the politics of accountability enmesh universities in conflicts…

Whose Accountability? Governmentality and the Auditing of Universities
One of the most interesting aspects of the transformation that has been occurring in universities in the United Kingdom and elsewhere over the past decade and a half has been the extraordinary proliferation of new managerial discourses of ‘accountability’ and ‘excellence’. What we seem to be witnessing throughout the university sector, as in numerous other domains of life, are the curious effects of what anthropologists have termed ‘audit culture…
Presidential Address
Sociologists have long observed the tendency of the public to support individualistic explanations for poverty, and critiqued the role of academics in the victim blaming process. At the current time, as economic inequality increases and homelessness becomes a problem of growing public concern, the potential for sociology to facilitate victim blaming is of interest and concern. Some of the motivations and mechanisms of victim blaming that emerge i…
The validity of phonetic transcription
Auditory phonetic transcription is a stock-in-trade of sociolinguists; it is transcriptions, not actual speech, that form the raw data of much of sociolinguistics. Given its importance, it is surprising that phonetic transcription has rarely been examined by sociolinguists from the point of view of its validity and its reliability — despite the existence of a certain amount of discussion in the phonetic literature. Rather, it has been treated as …

Universities in a knowledge economy or ecology? Policy, contestation and abjection
Policies to repurpose universities as drivers of a global knowledge economy are often inspired by formal economic models based on marketable knowledge. Their rationality calls for transactional leaders to impose organizational models on universities to reshape their relationships both internally and with a plethora of stakeholders in the 'field' of the global knowledge economy. Polanyi's 'substantive economy' and Tsing's 'liveable landscape' prov…

Terrorists and biological weapons
By the end of the Clinton administration, the claim that terrorists armed with biological weapons represented a huge threat to the security of the United States had achieved the status of received knowledge. How this linkage was forged, despite informed dissent not only outside the Clinton administration but also within it, and how it was used to justify a radical reframing of biological knowledge, especially in genetic engineering and genomics, …
Molecular Biology or Molecular Politics? The Production of Scientific Consensus on the Hazards of Recombinant DNA Technology
This paper examines an early phase of the controversy over the hazards of recombinant DNA technology in the United States in the period 1976-78, during which agreement was reached within the biomedical community that these hazards were minimal. The proceedings of three scientific meetings that are generally agreed to have been central events in the emergence of this new perception of recombinant DNA hazards are examined. Techniques previously use…

"Neoliberalisation and the "Death of the Public University
The advance of neoliberalism is often linked to what many authors describe as the "death of the public university". Taking up this theme, we explore the idea of the "neoliberal university" as a model and its implications for academia. We argue that this model is having a transformative effect, not only the core values and distinctive purpose of the public university, but also on academic subjectivities of the professional ethos that has tradition…

Women Sociologists in the Midwest
This report examines the status of Midwest women sociologists in occupational attainment and professional participation, and seeks to answer three questions: (1) What is the current status of Midwest women sociologists? (2) What changes have occurred in the status of Midwest women sociologists in recent years? and (3) How does the status of women sociologists in the Midwest compare to their colleagues nationally
Pigeon-holed Policies
This paper examines the policy framework for rural employment in England, where policies for agriculture are isolated from those for the residual 'rural economy'. Agricultural policy is narrowly geared to increasing productivity and the incomes of farmers. The result in the progressive farming area of Lincolnshire, is a shrinking employment base in the industry, with reductions in both the number of farm workers and farmers. Other government orga…

The Social Warp of Science
Traditional empiricism, although largely abandoned, has marked the social studies of science through the persistent division between macrolevel analysis of the institutions promoting and regulating science and microlevel analysis of the laboratory, theories, and experiments. Further traces appear in the largely separate methodologies used in social studies of science, which do not draw from political theory, and studies in political theory, which…
