Reconfiguring Knowledge in Higher Education

This volume addresses the work of knowledge reconfiguration taking place in higher education today. Drawing empirically on two major research studies in Norway and Australia, it brings together a range of studies of knowledge reconfiguration agendas and practices as they are seen in national policy and governance, and in different kinds of institutional practices, such as study programs. It comprises nine thematic chapters framed by an introductory chapter and a conclusion. Chapters include studies of knowledge as a change driver at policy and institutional levels; studies of knowledge reconfiguration within agendas for research and research-based professional preparation; and close-up studies of practices at the study program level.
