Interrogating global flows in higher education 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The paper critically reviews the concept of ‘global flows’, beginning with the discussions of flows and networks in Appadurai (1996), Castells (2000) and Held et al. (1999). Emphasising the need to embed ‘global flows’ in agency and history, and to explore global connectedness in terms of situated cases, the paper develops an analytical framework for analysing global flows in higher education. It then applies that framework in an examination of global ‘scapes’, impacts, transformations, situatedness and relations of power in two national universities, research leaders in their nations but located in contrasting nations: Universitas Indnesia and the Australian National University. 相似文献

University Leaders’ Strategies in the Global Environment: A Comparative Study of Universitas Indonesia and the Australian National University 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In a global environment in which global, national and local nodes relate freely within common networks, all research universities
must pursue strategies for building global capacity and facilitating cross-border staff and student movement and research
collaboration. The study compares readings of the global environment, global and international activities and relationships,
and global capacity and strategy, in two leading national universities, one in a middle level developing country (Indonesia)
and the other in a middle level developed country (Australia). The main tool of investigation was interviews with parallel
groups of institutional leaders and leaders of academic units and research centres, in conjunction with study of the national
and local contexts. It was apparent that in both cases, while global elements are increasingly important in university strategy,
mission and identity, resource capacity remains highly dependant on national government and students. This belies the romantic
myth of the ‘stand-alone’ corporate university in the global marketplace. The two cases also differ in some respects. While
both universities are peak national institutions, and each respects the other, the Australian university is more strongly
placed in the global environment and practical dealings between them are asymmetrical. The study helps to illuminate the dynamics
of global stratification and hierarchy between developed and developing nations and institutions in higher education. 相似文献

Internationalisation of Australian higher education was initially characterised as growth in the number of international students. While the economic benefits brought by this student cohort and the challenges associated with teaching them are well noted in the literature, their academic contributions are hardly acknowledged. Using a qualitative research approach, the paper explores the extent to which international students facilitate the internationalisation of the curriculum and the intercultural learning of domestic students. Interviews with academic staff in one university in Australia indicated that international students brought a diversity of cultures that inspired teachers in their teaching. While academic staff members positively value these potentials, they argued that domestic students remained neglectful and unaware of the changing cultural environment. It was a challenge for staff to get domestic students to utilise the cultural resources represented by the students. Some implications were discussed concerning ways in which the process of internationalisation can be progressed in a more effective way. 相似文献

Student security is a composite social practice that includes the domains of consumer rights, entitlement to a range of welfare supports and pastoral care, and freedom from exploitation and discrimination. Three traditions shape the systems used for managing and regulating international student security in the nations that export education: pastoral care, consumer protection and quasi-citizenship. Each has different implications for the positioning of students as agents. This study used semi-structured interviews with 70 international students from nine countries in two contrasting universities. It investigated the provision of international student security, including the distinctive New Zealand regime of security, regulated by the National Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students. This Code binds provider institutions and the International Education Appeal Authority, and permits Code-based claims by students from providers. The study found that international students in New Zealand have varying expectations of student security, which draws eclectically from all three traditions. There are gaps in the coverage of pastoral care, including the areas of financial matters and intercultural relations. Where the Code does provide protection, its provisions are not always fully implemented, such as for accommodation assistance. More seriously, there is little knowledge among students of the Code of Practice and their Code-based entitlements, and almost no knowledge of the Appeal Authority. Numerous students testified to poor information flow. This limits not only their capacities as quasi-consumers and their access to pastoral services – so that in practice, the New Zealand system is similar to the Australian system, which is explicitly limited to consumer protection – but even their ability to fully utilize consumer protection. This defect renders the promise of a regulated pastoral care regime grounded in active student agency largely inoperative. 相似文献
