Beth Godbee; Rasha Diab – College Composition and Communication, 2025
What are we in rhetoric, writing, and literacy studies currently practicing? What practices do harm and, in contrast, which counter harm? How do we disrupt everyday, cumulative, and structural injustices and instead invest in accountability? In addition to asking these and other questions, this article engages four accountability practices that…

Leonard Taylor – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
The fullness of Black students' experiences in college has yet to be archived. The same can be said of Black people broadly, whose existence has long been reduced by and to what is observable, by systems of power and those at the helm. This is perhaps due to the structural and structural limitations of data collection efforts, or not of interest…

This study explores the production, dissemination, and reception of the discourse of educational excellence and internationalisation in Japan's Designated National University Corporation System.

Tessa Lukkien; Trishna Chauhan; Lilian Otaye-Ebede – British Educational Research Journal, 2025
Extant research has focused on the barriers faced by minority faculty in academia. Despite outward notions of commitment to diversity, higher education institutions remain largely exclusive to anyone who does not prescribe to the 'ideal' faculty. Recently, more attention has been given to minority faculty who possess intersectional identities,…

Anishya Obhrai Madan; Ajay K. Jain; Richard Bolden – International Journal of Educational Management, 2025
Purpose: The concept of distributed leadership (DL) has been widely advocated within higher education (HE). Yet, there have been few empirical investigations and little theory development outside Western contexts to date. This study presents a unique conceptualisation of DL and tests it empirically in India. Design/methodology/approach: This study…

Rubin, Jee; Bose, Lakshmi S. – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2023
This paper examines the ways in which administrators, academics and students living under conditions of authoritarianism come to imagine the university's political possibilities and horizons. To this aim, we first consider how alternative imaginaries are constructed and contained at Bogaziçi University, where the parameters of political…

M. Sofyan; Ilana Finefter-Rosenbluh; Melissa Barnes – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2025
Numerous studies have discussed the "ethics of care" and "safe learning environments" in relation to educational experiences. Yet, there is a dearth of literature on such aspects in vocational, non-western higher education contexts. This paper examines how students and teachers view entanglements of the ethics of care and safe…

Karen Gravett; Simon Lygo-Baker – Studies in Higher Education, 2025
In this article, we examine how thinking with affect theory offers fertility within higher education studies to see and do teaching and learning differently. For many educators in universities, the idea that teaching is a cognitive process of information transmission is still taken-for-granted. These beliefs are visible through the persistence of…

This paper brings together two scholars, Filipina/CHamorro and Cantonese (respectively), to engage in collaborative story-sharing sessions. We accessed our upbringings, K-12 and postsecondary educations, relations with processes of coloniality and racialization, and critical consciousness formation to situate our lives and knowledges in how Asian…

Jieyu Ruan; Yuzhuo Cai; Bjørn Stensaker – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
In China, higher education institutions (HEIs) have a governance arrangement in which the university president and the party secretary occupy key roles. However, their legal roles as institutional leaders are vaguely specified in existing legal frameworks. Based on a four-dimensional theoretical model, this paper (i) clarifies the leadership roles…

Ariful Haq Kabir – Comparative Education Review, 2024
While reference societies as an "externalization" process are often used to justify borrowing policies from abroad, a concerted attempt to understand how "power" influences this process, particularly regarding "semiperipheral" references to the periphery, remains absent. This article explores the externalization…

Postdoctoral scholars are particularly vulnerable to sexual harassment because of their early career stage, a lack of clear institutional policies, and dyadic relationships with their advisors, among other factors. Recent surveys and listening sessions have reiterated this issue, indicating that workplace bullying, harassment, and discrimination…

Jill E. Stefaniak; Lisa A. Giacumo; Jin Joy Mao; Tutaleni I. Asino – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2025
This paper examines the value of embedding a systems-thinking lens in higher education research. A systems approach enables institutions to move beyond isolated interventions to explore the broader relationships and structures influencing learning and development by addressing the interconnected dimensions of people, processes, and technology. The…

Ada Malcioln Martin – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Historically white institutions (HWIs) across the country are, in some way or another, working to address racial disparities within their organizations.
