Changing Identities in Higher Education: Voicing Perspectives de Ronald Barnett

Changing Identities in Higher Education: Voicing Perspectives: Key Issues in Higher Education

Editat de Ronald Barnett, Roberto Di Napoli
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 sep 2009
In this timely and innovative book scholars from Europe, the UK, North America and Australia, explore their own sense of identity, reflecting both on their research and scholarly interests, and their work experiences.
Taking the form of a debate, Changing Identities in Higher Education helps to widen the contemporary space for debates on the future of higher education itself. The book is split into three parts:
  • part one presents a set of essays each on a set of identities within higher education (academic, student, administrative/managerial and educational developers).
  • part two includes responses to Part one from authors speaking from their own professional and scholarly identity perspective
  • part three illustrates perspectives on the identities of students, provided by students themselves.
With its original, dialogic form and varied content, this book is of interest to all those concerned in current debates about the state and nature of higher education today and those interested in questions of identity. It makes especially useful reading for students of higher education, lecturers in training, academics and managers alike.

Recenzii

This is a timely book of exploration that seeks illumination from experiences as well as theories. It moves forward studies of academic identities in a number of critically important ways. Taking as its point of departure the supercomplexity confronting and pervading contemporary higher education, it locates studies of identities firmly in the diversity of actors that shape and are shaped by it. A central feature is the exploration of voice in the "historical process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction" that epitomises identity development for the editors. It succeeds in incorporating not only a variety of voices but also a dialogue between them characterised by an openness to the other as well as by individual integrity. Crucially, too, it gives due place to knowledge identities in giving first voice to a discipline-rooted critical exploration of the potential for interdisciplinarity to contribute alongside the disciplines in the construction of identities in higher education.
Mary Henkel, Professor Associate, Brunel University, UK
I was captivated by this book's vibrant expression of fragmented identities. It's wide variety of voices speak of the complexity of higher education with authenticity and candour and without easy simplifications. A good read that left me much to ponder over.
Stephen Rowland, Professor of Higher Education, University College London, UK
