We explore how…

Two dance educators, one from the independent sector and one from higher education, have cowritten this article to discuss the important links between independent studios and college dance programs. We provide the history, evolution, and goals of the DANCE 2050 think tank, which currently focuses on shared values in dance education across sectors.…

It has long been recognised that a key element in improving student transition, retention and success in higher education is cross-institutional consistency and unity of action among disparate academic, policy and support units. However, transferring this principle into practice often requires overcoming departmental silos, negotiating shared…

By applying New Regionalism Approach, this paper delves into a rather unexplored area of regionalism (higher education) in a less investigated region (Southeast Asia) and state (Philippines). It treads through a relatively recent terrain of bridge-building between higher education and regionalism. Through in-depth interviews and document analysis,…

In this article, we analyze contradictions, complexities, limits, and potentialities of internationalization of higher education (IHE) from Latin American decolonial perspectives. We argue that even when scholars may be holding decolonial critiques and aspirations towards IHE, the structures of universities are heavily influenced by colonial…

For the purposes of this investigation, the use of developmental evaluation has been deemed appropriate to fully explore the depths of the topic. Design/methodology/approach: The research…

The need to improve institutional performance seems clear considering equity gaps and the high costs associated with higher education.

Soft skills may improve considerably accountants' career prospects whether they work in industry or auditing. A mixed-method approach with two data collection phases was…

Categorical career stages offer an institutional framework through which mobilities can be claimed and contested by feminists in academia. Inhabiting career stages uncritically can serve to reproduce neoliberal academic structures that feminists may seek to resist. Collaboration across career stages is a significant empirical case for…

Universities in Canada have been highly engaged with internationalisation -- concurrent with the Bologna Process in Europe -- yet appear only marginally influenced by the 'external' Europeanisation of higher education. This paper examines the intersection of these processes: Has the Europeanisation of higher education influenced the…
