Learning under neoliberalism
As part of the neoliberal trends toward public-private partnerships, universities all over the world have forged more intimate relationships with corporate interests and more closely resemble for-profit corporations in both structure and practice. These transformations, accompanied by new forms of governance, produce new subject-positions among faculty and students and enable new approaches to teaching, curricula, research, and everyday practices. The contributors to this volume use ethnographic methods to investigate the multi-faceted impacts of neoliberal restructuring, while reporting on their own pedagogical responses, at universities in the United States, Europe, and New Zealand.

Student Affairs for Academic Administrators
Co-published with In these days when every college or university needs to make the best use of resources, Student Affairs for Academic Administrators is intended to help academic administrators make the best use of one vital campus resource: student affairs. By providing this concise introduction to student affairs as a discipline and a profession, the authors of this volume provide a foundation for working together to improve the student experience and enhance learning. Since academic administrators typically come up through the faculty ranks, they are unlikely to have a good grasp of what their student affairs colleagues bring to the common work of education. To provide a better understanding, the chapters in this volume cover topics such as: The history of student affairs, and functions typically associated with student affairs divisions; Current thinking and research in student development theory; Theoretical constructs underlying contemporary student affairs practice (and ways to employ these theories in academic administration); Diversity issues and their impact on student outcomes in the collegiate environment.After a chapter on how to build successful collaborations between academic affairs and student affairs, two final chapters explore specific examples of how such collaborations work in practice: Academic honor codes, and undergraduate research. While written for academic administrators, the book also provides valuable insights for those in student affairs seeking to improve understanding and facilitate collaboration with colleagues in academic affairs.

Jean Francois' outline of glocal higher education makes propositions and suggests frameworks that can serve as alternative to the limitations of the imperialist ambitions of global education. Using templates, case studies, illustrations, and activities, Jean Francois challenges the critical thinking of scholars and policy makers, and suggest original strategies to plan and implement programs, projects, and activities in international, comparative, and global education\"-- Provided by publisher.

Global opportunities and challenges for higher education leaders : briefs on key themes
Higher education leaders today recognize the need to develop an international strategy for their institutions but may lack the knowledge and perspective required to inform good decisions. Institutions must create educational environments where students will begin to appreciate the complexity of global integration and develop skills to navigate it successfully. International outreach and initiatives enrich institutional culture but must be based on good information and analysis. To address this need, the American Council on Education (ACE) and the Boston College Center for International Higher Education (CIHE) launched a publication and webinar series titled International Briefs for Higher Education Leaders. The purpose of the series is to assist campus leaders in their efforts to make sense of a broad and complex set of issues inherent in the internationalization of American higher education today. In an era of \"information overload\" and in light of the realities of time constraints faced by busy institutional leaders, each Brief publication is organized around one clearly defined topic. This book features the key themes of global engagement, China, India, and the \"southern cone\" in Latin America.
