Description

The Politics of Poststructuralism Today Workshop

It is generally accepted that the various strands of thought associated with ‘post-structuralism’ have had an extensive impact on the study of politics in the UK and the United States over the past 30 years. However, it is also clear from a number of recent publications that there is renewed interest in the vexed questions of how to define post-structuralism and how to evaluate its overall significance.

The production of elites and the making of elite universities

It has become a common understanding that higher education is highly relevant for the production of elites in Western countries (Collins 1979; Brown et al. 2010). What however is less researched is how education does this (cf. Zald and Lounsboury 2010), especially under the impact of mass higher education. While a considerable body of literature discusses the reproduction of social elites through higher education, the formation processes within and through the educational institution are treated as a side‐aspect.
