    Cambridge Anthropology : Preliminary Notes (2015)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782389958
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 50 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Educational Studies
    Abstract: There are very few inside accounts of academic departments, their history and ethnography. The Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge constitutes an appropriate case study to fill this gap. Having emerged from the work of figures such as Maine, Robertson Smith, Rivers and Haddon through to more recent international scholars such as Fortes, Leach, Goody, Gellner and Strathern, it is one of the oldest and most distinguished departments in the social sciences. It has trained many of the leading anthropologists working today, and many of its students are established in important positions around the world. It has added enormously to our understanding of the wider world through research in all continents and regions. Based on thirty-five years of participant-observation fieldwork in the Department from 1975-2009, as Lecturer, Reader and Professor, Alan Macfarlane gives a brief history and reflects on life in the department, including the physical space, clothing, conversation, meetings and micro-politics. He also describes some of the changes over fifty years of post-colonial adaptation. This small book is part of the celebration for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Faculty of Archaeology and Anthropology held in Cambridge in February 2015.

    Learning Under Neoliberalism : Ethnographies of Governance in Higher Education (2015)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]

    ISBN: 9781782385967

    Pages: 228 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Series Statement: Higher Education in Critical Perspective: Practices and Policies 1
    Keywords: Educational Studies
    Abstract: 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.

    Figuration Work : Student Participation, Democracy and University Reform in a Global Knowledge Economy (2015)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782387725
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 276 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Series Statement: EASA Series 27
    Keywords: Educational Studies
    Abstract: What role should students take in shaping their education, their university, and the wider society? These questions have assumed new importance in recent years as universities are reformed to become more competitive in the "global knowledge economy." With Denmark as the prism, this book shows how negotiations over student participation - influenced by demands for efficiency, flexibility, and student-centered education - reflect broader concerns about democracy and citizen participation in increasingly neoliberalised states. Combining anthropological and historical research, Gritt B. Nielsen develops a novel approach to the study of policy processes and opens a timely discussion about the kinds of future citizens who will emerge from current reforms.

    Hindi Is Our Ground, English Is Our Sky : Education, Language, and Social Class in Contemporary India (2014)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782382331
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 236 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Educational Studies
    Abstract: A sea change has occurred in the Indian economy in the last three decades, spurring the desire to learn English. Most scholars and media venues have focused on English exclusively for its ties to processes of globalization and the rise of new employment opportunities.  The pursuit of class mobility, however, involves Hindi as much as English in the vast Hindi-Belt of northern India.  Schools are institutions on which class mobility depends, and they are divided by Hindi and English in the rubric of "medium," the primary language of pedagogy. This book demonstrates that the school division allows for different visions of what it means to belong to the nation and what is central and peripheral in the nation. It also shows how the language-medium division reverberates unevenly and unequally through the nation, and that schools illustrate the tensions brought on by economic liberalization and middle-class status.
