I detta nummer av Högre utbildning fokuseras huvudsakligen på hur studenter kan engageras i forskning samt lärares skriftliga reflektioner om sin egen undervisning.
"Det finns många utmaningar med vetenskaplig publicering, inte minst vad gäller pressen akademiker har att publicera (publish or perish) och olika rankingar mellan lärosäten och länder där ...publikationer i internationella högrankade tidskrifter premieras (Aprile et al., 2021). Många tidskrifter har sett ett ökat flöde av inskickade bidrag under de senaste åren, så även Högre utbildning. Det har resulterat i en ökad mängd bidrag för redaktörer att granska och hantera. Det ligger i tidskriftens intresse att publicera bidrag av hög kvalitet och relevans för tidskriftens målgrupp. Men det ligger också i tidskriftens intresse att sammantaget ha ett tillräckligt omfattande och varierat innehåll som läses av målgruppen".

Visuality is a concept that crosses boundaries of practice and meaning, making it an ideal subject for interdisciplinary research. In this article, we discuss visuality using a fragment from a video ...meeting of television producers at Swedish Television’s group for programming in Swedish Sign Language. This example argues for the importance of recognizing the diversity of analytical and practice-derived visualities and their effect on the ways in which we interpret cultures. These different visualities have consequences for the methods and means with which we present scholarly research. The role of methods, methodology, and analysis of visual practices in an organizational and bilingual setting are key. We explore the challenges of incorporating deaf visualities, hearing visualities, and different paradigms of interdisciplinary research as necessary when visibility, invisibility, and their materialities are of concern. We conclude that in certain contexts, breaking with disciplinary traditions makes visible that which is otherwise invisible.
'Knowledge society' and 'knowledge economy' are current buzzwords in the visions of the future made by nations, regions and federations on a global scale. A concrete outcome of this is the ...globalisation and intensification of higher education and research. The visions based on a knowledge component should be treated as expressions of an ideology. In this article we use the notion of 'eduscapes' and 'imaginaries' as analytics for an understanding of such visions as these are expressed by individuals and institutional actors involved in educational landscapes. The argument is made that this notion is less ideological and more apt for an analysis of globalisation of higher education.
Analysis of metacommunication & interprofessional discourse in media-on-media events (N = approximately 85 news items, 1994/95) following the 1994 sinking of the MS Estonia shows that they are almost ...exclusively dominated by the voices of the news workers. Potential external voices, if heard at all, are marginalized, & attempts at a critique from other professionals are effectively displaced by various strategies. Using the notion of recontextualization reveals how both discursive & ideological strategies are utilized in interprofessional boundary work. 20 References. Adapted from the source document.
The great tidal wave (tsunami) following an earthquake under the sea brought death and disaster to a large number of people along the coast of South-East Asia in December 2004. This event caught the ...attention of the world communities of donors who gave generously to aid relief efforts, partly inspired by the marketing of transnational NGOs and fundraisers such as the Red Cross and Medecins sans Frontieres. In this paper, concrete examples from this marketing campaign in Sweden, one nation among many that suffered great loss, are used in order to address questions where the rationality of giving and the rationality of business intersect. At the centre of the analysis stands the representation of the other in the ads. The theoretical framework for this analysis is inspired by Emmanuel Levinas and his understanding of an 'elevated' Other and brings up a set of questions concerning representation and ethics relevant to global marketing in a post-national world.

Välkomna till det första numret av Högre utbildning år 2022! Efter nästan två års digital undervisning på distans har vårterminen till största del utspelat sig på campus igen, efterlängtat av många, ...både studenter och lärare. Samtidigt har de högskolepedagogiska konferenserna nästan avlöst varandra, från lokala konferenser på lärosätesnivå till den nationella NU-konferensen med temat ”Att synliggöra lärandet” och den internationella ICED-konferensen under rubriken ”Sustainable Educational Development”, som gick av stapeln i Danmark. Tidskriften Högre utbildning är en del av samtalet mellan lärare, forskare, pedagogiska utvecklare, studenter medflera och bidrar med aktuella perspektiv. En del av texterna i det här numret summerar och analyserar erfarenheter som har gjorts under pandemin, medan andra bidrag rör sig i en vidare högskolepedagogisk kontext.
Boundaries and boundary crossing areimportant dimensions of contemporary science. Perhaps more than inany other area of study, these dimensions play a role in the field of culturalstudies. Being a ...fairly young and still developing field, cultural studies wasfounded on and to some extent still retain a spirit, at least rhetorically, ofresistance, rebellion and political engagement. Needless to say, any fieldthat aspires to a status within the world of academe has to accommodateto some of its conventions and expectations. In this article, the field ofcultural studies is the example put forward in an analysis of the meta-phors of liminality that are used within it. Three different proponents ofcultural studies are identified which roughly equate with a developmentwithin the field: political engagement rather than academic discipline;discursive formations; and communication central.
