An emerging issue in higher education studies is that of boundaries crossing. Therefore, this year, the main topic of the the 27th Annual Conference of the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER), is embedded in its title: “Universities in transition: shifting institutional and organizational boundaries”.
Several signals of shifting boundaries can be envisaged in higher education and research institutions, such as the replacement of permanent positions for researchers by temporary contracts, the involvement of firms with research groups and university boards, new alliances, collaborations and networking with non-academic organizations (e.g. public or private research organizations, firms), as well as universities participating in private companies or agencies.
This conference, by bringing together researchers dealing with the different perspectives of shifting boundaries, is expected to stimulate the methodological and theoretical debates, including (but not exclusively) historical, comparative, societal, organisational, institutional, quantitative and qualitative approaches.
Four conference tracks are foreseen:
Track one: Changing functions, objectives, and scope of higher education and research institutions
Track two: Collaborations across institutional and organizational boundaries
Track three: Shifting boundaries in the academic profession
Track four: Core Themes in Higher Education Research
