BHS seminariet | The World-Class Ordination: A Field Theory Approach to the Study of Global University Rankings
Välkommen till detta BHS-seminarium där Pablo Lillo (Högskolan i Borås) presenterar sin forskning.
Sammanfattning (engelska):
Pablo Lillo, post-doctoral researcher at SSLIS, University of Borås, presents his doctoral thesis which explores the idea of a “world-class university” by analysing the narratives and dynamics that shape this classification in the context of global university rankings. The research reinterprets the rise and evolution of global university rankings, framing it as a process of field formation. Influential entities like the IREG Observatory and the Center for World-Class Universities have been instrumental in fostering a global discourse that encourages competition among higher education institutions, leading to the establishment of a worldwide system for evaluating academic excellence.
