Book excerpt: In this global moment, the rise of fascist styles of governments have sounded alarms to the demise of democracy. As concerns of democracy intensify, education's role in creating the democratically minded citizen also intensifies. "Promises and Paradoxes: Democracy and Higher Education in Burma" examines the relationship between democracy and education during the democratic opening in Burma. Specifically, I look at how the idea of democracy was constructed within higher educational spaces and how the discursive construction of democracy shaped the practices transforming higher education. Burma's pro-democracy educational agenda was situated within development initiatives framed around solving Burma's fragility conditions and within new market-based practices. This study brings together, democracy, higher education and fragility using the theoretical and methodological frameworks of Foucault's archeological approach and Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory to understand the paradoxes created through the discursive linkages of democracy, education and fragility. My year-long, 2018-2019 multi-sited ethnographic study of public, non-profit and for-profit higher education institutions focused on three questions: 1). how pedagogical practices associated with democratic behaviors were articulated within policy documents and HE spaces enabling a particular understanding of democracy to emerge; 2). how the idea of freedom became a central discursive feature of Burma's democracy and how this iteration of democracy transformed the landscape and lifeworld of HE; 3). how the pursuit of individual freedom, embedded in Burma's notion of democracy, shaped the subjectivity of students for the purpose of transforming state's fragile conditions. Reformers believed that the practices and pedagogies associated with democracy would increase students' knowledge and skills, enhance personal freedom and produce a more stable society needed to help the country leave its state of fragility. In ethnographic detail, my research showed how the enactment of educational practices associated with democracy worked against their perceived intention. Implementing the learner-centered pedagogical (LCP) approach and critical thinking, envisioned to bolster democracy and strengthen national unity, actually maintained exclusionary belief systems and practices by limiting who could exist and what could be heard. While private education, choice and academic autonomy offered professors and students new decision-making opportunities, this freedom came with new forms of discipline. Academics in both the public and private sectors had to take on increasing workloads and seek out additional training while navigating through more volatility in the job market. At the same time, students learned to analyze themselves and their problems in terms of economic, moral, and political risks, so they could offset future calamity from globalizing processes. Academics and students imagined a life where free choice and personal autonomy in the present provided the pathway for greater freedom in the future. Paradoxically, it was the pursuit of an imagined democratic future that equality, inclusion, and self-liberation in the present was never realized.
Book Synopsis Democracy and Education by : John Dewey
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book Synopsis "To Serve a Larger Purpose" by : John Saltmarsh
Download or read book "To Serve a Larger Purpose" written by John Saltmarsh and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-20 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To Serve a Larger Purpose" calls for the reclamation of the original democratic purposes of civic engagement and examines the requisite transformation of higher education required to achieve it. The contributors to this timely and relevant volume effectively highlight the current practice of civic engagement and point to the institutional change needed to realize its democratic ideals. Using multiple perspectives, "To Serve a Larger Purpose" explores the democratic processes and purposes that reorient civic engagement to what the editors call "democratic engagement." The norms of democratic engagement are determined by values such as inclusiveness, collaboration, participation, task sharing, and reciprocity in public problem solving and an equality of respect for the knowledge and experience that everyone contributes to education, knowledge generation, and community building. This book shrewdly rethinks the culture of higher education.

Book Synopsis Democracy and Higher Education by : Scott J. Peters
Download or read book Democracy and Higher Education written by Scott J. Peters and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are we to understand the nature and value of higher education's public purposes, mission, and work in a democratic society? How do-and how should-academic professionals contribute to and participate in civic life in their practices as scholars, scientists, and educators? Democracy and Higher Education addresses these questions by combining an examination of several normative traditions of civic engagement in American higher education with the presentation and interpretation of a dozen oral history profiles of contemporary practitioners. In his analysis of these profiles, Scott Peters reveals and interprets a democratic-minded civic professionalism that includes and interweaves expert, social critic, responsive service, and proactive leadership roles. Democracy and Higher Education contributes to a new line of research on the critically important task of strengthening and defending higher education's positive roles in and for a democratic society.
Book Synopsis The Tyranny of the Meritocracy by : Lani Guinier
Download or read book The Tyranny of the Meritocracy written by Lani Guinier and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh and bold argument for revamping our standards of “merit” and a clear blueprint for creating collaborative education models that strengthen our democracy rather than privileging individual elites Standing on the foundations of America’s promise of equal opportunity, our universities purport to serve as engines of social mobility and practitioners of democracy. But as acclaimed scholar and pioneering civil rights advocate Lani Guinier argues, the merit systems that dictate the admissions practices of these institutions are functioning to select and privilege elite individuals rather than create learning communities geared to advance democratic societies. Having studied and taught at schools such as Harvard University, Yale Law School, and the University of Pennsylvania Law School, Guinier has spent years examining the experiences of ethnic minorities and of women at the nation’s top institutions of higher education, and here she lays bare the practices that impede the stated missions of these schools. Goaded on by a contemporary culture that establishes value through ranking and sorting, universities assess applicants using the vocabulary of private, highly individualized merit. As a result of private merit standards and ever-increasing tuitions, our colleges and universities increasingly are failing in their mission to provide educational opportunity and to prepare students for productive and engaged citizenship. To reclaim higher education as a cornerstone of democracy, Guinier argues that institutions of higher learning must focus on admitting and educating a class of students who will be critical thinkers, active citizens, and publicly spirited leaders. Guinier presents a plan for considering “democratic merit,” a system that measures the success of higher education not by the personal qualities of the students who enter but by the work and service performed by the graduates who leave. Guinier goes on to offer vivid examples of communities that have developed effective learning strategies based not on an individual’s “merit” but on the collaborative strength of a group, learning and working together, supporting members, and evolving into powerful collectives. Examples are taken from across the country and include a wide range of approaches, each innovative and effective. Guinier argues for reformation, not only of the very premises of admissions practices but of the shape of higher education itself.
Book Synopsis Dastardly Discourse by : Meg Gorzycki
Download or read book Dastardly Discourse written by Meg Gorzycki and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Screaming at the television, compulsively firing off tart little tweets, and blogging until we are blue; these signal that we are feeling the effects of dastardly discourse. We live in a world where people feel entitled to use words to hurt, exploit, and publicly degrade humanity. We daily consume rhetoric that makes a mockery of decency and civility. Leaders of key social institutions, including government, news media, and religious organizations, who are supposed to be role models of reasoned and compassionate communication are often the ones with the loudest lies and the hardest hate. We can change the channel. We can unplug. We can even encourage others to do the same. We may not do so, however, until we grasp what is fundamentally at risk in our current norms of communication. Nasty words are just the tip of the dastardly discourse iceberg. What lies beneath is a steady flow of propaganda that aims to control our personal narratives. This book is about that propaganda, the importance of owning our own narratives, and improving our own rhetorical capital—the ability to analyze and evaluate information—for the sake of sustaining human dignity, decency, and civility.
Book Synopsis Multi-Level Governance in Universities by : Jetta Frost
Download or read book Multi-Level Governance in Universities written by Jetta Frost and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governing universities is a multi-level as well as a highly paradoxical endeavor. The featured studies in this book examine critically the multifaceted repercussions of changing governance logics and show how contradictory demands for scholarly peer control, market responsiveness, public policy control, and democratization create governance paradoxes. While a large body of academic literature has been focusing on the external governance of universities, this book shifts the focus on organizations’ internal characteristics, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of the changing governance in universities. The book follows exigent calls for getting back to the heart of organization theory when studying organizational change and turns attention to strategies, structures, and control mechanisms as distinctive but interrelated elements of organizational designs. We take a multi-level approach to explore how universities develop strategies in order to cope with changes in their institutional environment (macro level), how universities implement these strategies in their structures and processes (meso level), and how universities design mechanisms to control the behavior of their members (micro level). As universities are highly complex knowledge-based organizations, their modus operandi, i.e. governing strategies, structures, and controls, needs to be responsive to the multiplicity of demands coming from both inside and outside the organization.
Book Synopsis Higher Education for Democracy by : William G. Tierney
Download or read book Higher Education for Democracy written by William G. Tierney and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bronze Winner, 2021 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the Education Category Democracy and higher education are inextricably linked: universities not only have the ability to be key arbiters of how democracy is advanced, but they also need to reflect democratic values in their practices, objectives, and goals. Framed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing crisis of structural racism, Higher Education for Democracy explores academe's role in advancing democracy by using a cross-national comparison of Los Angeles, New Delhi, and Hong Kong to develop strategies that universities can employ to strengthen democracy and resist fascism. William G. Tierney argues that if academe is to be a progenitor in the advancement of democracy, then we need to consider five areas of change that have been significant across national contexts amid both globalization and neoliberalism: inequality, privatization, the public good, identity, and academic freedom. Taking a comparative approach and drawing on scholarly literature, archival research, and interviews, Higher Education for Democracy aims to understand these changes and their implications and to position higher education in defense of democracy in a globalized economy framed by fascism.

Likewise the paradoxes of the democracies are the features with one negative aspect, which must be overcome for a more symmetrical democracy.
