{"product_id":"global-university-rankings-and-the-michelle-stack-9781487523398","title":"Global University Rankings and the Politics of Knowledge","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor many institutions, to ignore your university's ranking is to become invisible, a risky proposition in a competitive search for funding. But rankings tell us little if anything about the education, scholarship, or engagement with communities offered by a university. Drawing on a range of research and inquiry-based methods, \u003ci\u003eGlobal University Rankings and the Politics of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e exposes how universities became servants to the education industry and its impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eConceptually unique in its scope, \u003ci\u003eGlobal University Rankings and the Politics of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the lack of empirical research behind university and journal ranking systems. Chapters from internationally recognized scholars in decolonial studies provide readers with robust frameworks to understand the intersections of coloniality and Indigeneity and how they play out in higher education. Contributions from diverse geographical and disciplinary contexts explore the political economy of rankings within the contexts of the Global North and South, and examine alternatives to media-driven rankings. This book allows readers to consider the intersections of power and knowledge within the wider contexts of politics, culture, and the economy, to explore how assumptions about gender, social class, sexuality, and race underpin the meanings attached to rankings, and to imagine a future that confronts and challenges cognitive, environmental, and social injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Stack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487523394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487523398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.71d","brand":"Michelle Stack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045435404543,"sku":"9781487523398","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0118ea60-6666-40e2-8250-b368671a2015.jpg?v=1684978733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-university-rankings-and-the-michelle-stack-9781487523398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
