Geographies of Knowledge, Geometries of Power: Framing the Future of Higher Education
Redaktion: Epstein, Debbie; Wright, Susan; Rizvi, Fazal; Deem, Rosemary; Boden, Rebecca

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines higher education in globalized conditions through a focus on the spatial, historic and economic relations of power in which it is embedded. Distinct geometries of power are emerging as the knowledge production capability of universities is increasingly globalized. Thus distinctive geographies of knowledge are being produced, intersected by geometries of power and raising questions about the recognition, production, control and usage of university-produced knowledge in different regions of the world.
