Sørensen (NTNU) and Sharon Traweek (UCLA)* <br>> <br>> For many generations universities have been institutions of higher <br>> education and research. Now they are expected to contribute to local and <br>> global economies by commercializing research and spurring innovation, while <br>> addressing grand social challenges like climate mitigation and social <br>> disparities. They also must engage successfully in mass higher education <br>> and outreach with a variety of publics. This means that universities now <br>> occupy a strategic place in re/shaping society by circulating research and <br>> knowledge through teaching and professional expertise. Meanwhile, <br>> universities have become subject to increased auditing practices and <br>> austerity policies, locally and globally. Many universities turn to experts <br>> in branding and commodification for strategies in defining and representing <br>> their work as successful. <br>> <br>> STS provides resources for understanding such dis/continuities in the <br>> making and circulation of knowledge while the study of universities in <br>> dynamic ecologies is vital to addressing unexamined assumptions in STS <br>> about the relationship between research, teaching, and society, as well as <br>> the governance of that relationship. We invite papers that address how <br>> universities engage with the changing: <br>> <br>> - fragility and resilience of university cultures. <br>> <br>> - demands for rapid intellectual, social, and economic contributions to <br>> society; <br>> <br>> - work life and agency of academics <br>> <br>> - relationship between teaching, research, innovation, and outreach; <br>> - use of social media and branding practices by universities; <br>> <br>> - intersectional issues in knowledge making, teaching, outreach, funding, <br>> and society; <br>> <br>> - political economies of research, teaching, funding, and outreach; <br>> <br>> - *campus infrastructures from software* & budgets to buildings & <br>> transportation; <br>> <br>> - increasingly complex webs of relationships among universities glocally <br>> through rankings, MOUs, satellite campuses, academic mobilities, etc. <br>> <br>> The organizers are co-authors of *Questing Excellence: Tales of <br>> Two Universities* (under contract with Routledge). <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Abstract Requirements: Give your main arguments, methods, and <br>> contributions to specific aspects of the panel topic in in 250 words or <br>> less.
