“…Esto no es menor, ya que, a nivel mundial, el marco hegemónico que define el rol de la educación superior, se promueve su valor como insumo de desarrollo económico (Blackmore, 2016); esto adquiere sentido en virtud que son las habilidades, competencias o conocimientos técnicos derivados de este tipo de formación aquello que posibilita la competitividad nacional (Mok, 2015). Es decir, en la llamada sociedad del conocimiento, son las habilidades y conocimientos de los profesionistas los que permite dar un valor de eficiencia a la educación, concepto altamente relacionado con la economía actual y el rol de las IES en dicha dinámica (Jessop, 2017).…”

The article addresses the problem of accreditation of educational programs in Mexico. The importance of this type of evaluation is generated based on the policies in which higher education in Latin America is circumscribed. The objective of the research was to carry out a documentary analysis of 21 accreditation documents of seven programs of a public university over three periods, in order to classify the recommendations made by the accrediting instances; The resulting units or categories were as follows: Academic Staff, Students, Curriculum, Collaboration, Research and Program Management. The results show a lack of conceptual delimitation and compliance with international standards in the 21 documents, as well as information that suggests the university should increase the competitiveness of its programs, consolidate collegial work, strength trajectories, and meet the needs of the environment. The authors conclude that there is a need to make explicit the evaluation model that supports the accreditations. In addition, they describe how the accreditation promotes academic productivity and the establishment of basic conditions for the organization and operation of educational programs.

“…Within the academy, it decides what aspects of knowledge are valuable and what are not, and how some of the ambiguities (or difficulties of translating our work to a wider public) presented by the discipline of geography are exploited through the “impacts of research” process (Crabtree ). In addition, as Jessop () argues, this capitalism builds up or exaggerates fisco‐financial crises as reasons for neoliberal state managers to demand spending cuts in certain areas. Castree () brings together a number of scholars to show that the consequences are most often disastrous for geography.…”

“Academic War” over Geography? Death of Human Geography at the Australian National University

This article analyses how neoliberal economic policies decide what particular aspects of knowledge are valuable and what are not, and who might be the true holder of that knowledge within the tertiary education system. This assessment leads to some disciplines being seen as less valuable to the system. It argues that the more recent “academic wars” in geography are over the very concept of the university and its role in the contemporary society, what comprises useful knowledge, and who comprises the authoritative figure in the production and distribution of that knowledge. Gender of the geographer therefore becomes a crucial element that determines “authority” in the production of geographical knowledge. To substantiate this argument, the paper takes up the important task of analysing the complex career trajectory of geography within the Australian National University (ANU), the department that was gradually reduced leading eventually to its unfortunate closure in 2009.

“…Diversos são os estudos que buscam explicar como as tendências neoliberais têm moldado o campo da educação superior (SLAUGHTER; LESLIE, 1997;RHOADES, 2004;CANTWELL;SCHULZE-CLEVEN;OLSON, 2017;JESSOP, 2017;2018). Tornam-se cada vez mais tênues as fronteiras entre o público e o privado, o que ocorre por meio da ação de uma rede de atores guiados pela ideologia "the market knows best" (MOK, 2001, p. 302) e pelo culto à performatividade (BALL, 2005).…”

RESUMO: Este artigo explora como novas formas de capital e de organização da vida humana têm contribuído para a construção de um cenário fértil para a consolidação de uma universidade operacional, competitiva e heterônoma dentro do contexto do capitalismo acadêmico. Para isso, realizou-se, inicialmente, um paralelo entre o “novo espírito do capitalismo” de Boltanski e Chiapello, a “sociedade em rede” de Castells e a “modernidade líquida” de Bauman, explorando questões relacionadas ao esfacelamento das relações humanas e de trabalho. Tendo como pano de fundo as questões levantadas por esses autores, buscou-se entender as consequências dessas transformações para a universidade, retratando a Universidade Operacional como uma expressão de uma sociedade líquida-reticular. Por fim, buscou-se analisar tais mudanças sob a perspectiva da teoria do capitalismo acadêmico, explorando suas origens e expressões contemporâneas no Brasil; assim como as maneiras pelas quais uma rede de atores internos e externos à universidade têm se engajado no processo de redefinição das fronteiras entre o público e o privado. Espera-se que este estudo possa contribuir para o avanço acerca do entendimento da situação atual da educação superior brasileira subsidiando o de(com)bate sobre a desconfiguração da universidade aprofundada no contexto do capitalismo acadêmico.
