Abstract

The last half-century or so has seen higher education studies grow from a field of, at best, marginal intellectual interest into a significant social scientific area. This intellectual expansion has unsurprisingly tracked the global expansion of higher education itself over the period, first in the United States in the immediate post-war period, then in Europe, and later in all but the very poorest countries. As with all areas of intellectual complexity, the field diversified into specialisms, in this case focusing on higher education’s teaching and research activities, its sociology, its economics, its history, its governance, its management, even its architecture, and more, and in doing so attracted students, researchers and research funding. One of the attractions of the field is that its products (knowledge about knowledge) are ones which public agencies around the world, with responsibilities for important national assets, are often prepared to pay for – prepared to underpay, most in the trade would say, but still.

书评:《高等教育哲学:批判性导论》,罗纳德·巴内特著
在过去的半个世纪左右,高等教育研究从一个充其量只是边缘智力兴趣的领域发展成为一个重要的社会科学领域。不出所料,这种智力扩张跟踪了这一时期高等教育的全球扩张,首先是战后不久的美国,然后是欧洲,后来是除最贫穷国家外的所有国家。与智力复杂性的所有领域一样,该领域多样化为专业,在这种情况下,重点关注高等教育的教学和研究活动、社会学、经济学、历史、治理、管理,甚至建筑等,并以此吸引学生、研究人员和研究资金。该领域的吸引力之一是,其产品(关于知识的知识)是世界各地负责重要国家资产的公共机构经常准备支付的产品——业内大多数人会说,他们准备支付过低的费用,但仍然如此。

期刊介绍: London Review of Education (LRE), an international peer-reviewed journal, aims to promote and disseminate high-quality analyses of important issues in contemporary education. As well as matters of public goals and policies, these issues include those of pedagogy, curriculum, organisation, resources, and institutional effectiveness. LRE wishes to report on these issues at all levels and in all types of education, and in national and transnational contexts. LRE wishes to show linkages between research and educational policy and practice, and to show how educational policy and practice are connected to other areas of social and economic policy.
