Marxist Higher Education Research
I am happy to announce an open post-doc position in the research project I lead at the Scholarly Communication Research Group at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The project, funded by the National Science Centre (SONATA BIS 12), is titled “Origins and Development of Peripheral Academic Capitalism in Poland (1990–2021)” (you can read more about it here).
Last year, Scholarly Communication Research Group held a seminar with Simon Marginson and Xin Xu on their working paper discussing the validity of world-system theory and the concept of hegemony in analysing global science and higher education. I post my response highlighting omissions resulting from approaching the problem of centre-peripheries from a non-Marxist perspective and encourage going deeper into the issue.
