Despite allegations of political disengagement and apathy on the part of the young, the last ten years have witnessed a considerable degree of political activity by young people – much of it led by students or directed at changes to the higher education system. Such activity has been evident across the globe. Nevertheless, to date, no book has brought together contributions from a wide variety of national contexts to explore such trends in a rigorous manner. Student Politics and Protest: International Perspectives offers a unique contribution to the disciplines of education, sociology, social policy, politics and youth studies. It provides the first book-length analysis of student politics within contemporary higher education comprising contributions from a variety of different countries and addressing questions such as: What roles do students’ unions play in politics today? How successful are students in bringing about change? In what ways are students engaged in politics and protest in contemporary society? How does such engagement differ by national context? Student Politics and Protest: International Perspectives explores a number of common themes, including: the focus and nature of student politics and protest; whether students are engaging in fundamentally new forms of political activity; the characteristics of politically engaged students; the extent to which such activity can be considered to be ‘globalised’; and societal responses to political activity on the part of students. Student Politics and Protest: International Perspectives does not seek to develop a coherent argument across all its chapters but, instead, illustrate the variety of empirical foci, theoretical resources and substantive arguments that are being made in relation to student politics and protest. International in scope, with all chapters dealing with recent developments concerning student politics and protest, this book will be an invaluable guide for Higher Education professionals, masters and postgraduate students in education, sociology, social policy, politics and youth studies.

Student political action has been a major and recurring feature of politics across the globe through the past century. Students have been involved in a full range of public issues, from anti-colonial movements, anti-war campaigns, civil rights and pro-democracy movements to campaigns against neoliberal policies, austerity, racism, misogyny and calls for climate change action. Yet student actions are frequently dismissed by political elites and others as ‘adolescent mischief’ or manipulation of young people by duplicitous adults. This occurs even as many working in governments, traditional media and educational organisations attempt to suppress student movements. Much of mainstream scholarly work has also deemed student politics as undeserving of intellectual attention. These three edited volumes of books help set the record straight. Written by scholars and activists from around the world, When Students Protest: Universities in the Global South is the second in a three-volume study that explores university student politics in the global south. The authors document and analyse how generations of university and college students in the Global South responded to issues such as problems in their own universities as well as standing up against violent military dictatorships, human rights abuses, oppressive poverty, foreign interference and the effects of neoliberal austerity regimes. Contributors to this this volume also reveal repeated moves by states and institutions to stigmatise and suppress student political action while highlighting how those students developed new kinds of political action further demonstrating why this rich and complex global phenomena is worthy of more attention.

While higher education is still far from universal in the United States, it plays an increasingly large role in shaping our collective understanding of what knowledge counts as legitimate and important. Therefore, understanding the college curriculum and how it is changed and shaped helps us to understand the overall dynamics of knowledge in contemporary society. This book considers the emergence of three curricular fields that have developed and spread over the past half century in American higher education - Women's studies, Asian American studies and Queer/LGBT studies. It details the broader history of their development as knowledge fields and then explains how, when, and why individual colleges and universities may choose to adopt such innovations. Based on in-depth case studies of curricular change processes at six colleges and universities across the United States, the book demonstrates that social movements targeting colleges and universities play a major role in curricular change and sets forward a new model for understanding what it takes for social movements targeting organizations to make an impact.

Student participation and activism in higher education has faced successive challenges in its recent history, including Voluntary Student Unionism, state legislature removing student representation, and in response to the stark global challenges of COVID-19. In 2021, student participation has risen again, coupled with an increasing imperative for global democratic governance revisioning. In response to this context, this doctoral research makes several significant original contributions to knowledge in light of this change. First, it examines the largely unexplored landscape of student participation in governance through ethnography. Moreover, it deploys an increasingly displaced methodological frame of Gramscian social science and philosophy of praxis. Finally, through its acknowledgement of the ongoing cultural significance of activism and hegemony, it summons the possibility for fundamentally repurposing higher education. -- This thesis is nestled in the context of a rapidly shifting higher education sector, where the position of students is continuously reimagined. Situated in accelerated late-stage capitalism, powered by neoliberal impulses and managerialist institutions, the role and position of the student is narrowed. In Australia, the ongoing revisioning of university purpose and politics has enabled a burrowing in of ideologies about what and who students are and can be, what purpose higher education and academia serve, and what the production of citizens can and will look like. In this context, the complexity of the relationship between student politics, student power and student activism should not be understated. Despite varied responses from students, under the weight of globalising hegemonic political forces, tighter control mechanisms vice-grip the university sector. Student politics, student power and student activism emerge as distinct and situated responses to and for the institutions themselves. In this regard, at Flinders University, the context for this ethnographic study, student politicians have circled back to a point of owning the controlling interest in the 'student voice' from inside the University's structures. Here, student politicians chosen for their conformity with the hegemonic idealogues are rendered ineffectual and antithetical to the radical golden age of the 1960s. The 1960s and 1970s student radical period is examined for context and clarity, and to position the differential movement of students' political positioning inside higher education. Detailing and examining this context, this thesis draws from situated ethnographic research, more than 24 in-depth interviews with current and past students, and on the nexus of literature and praxis necessary for understanding the social world of a university and its dissidents. Understanding the context at Flinders University in terms of its culture, politics and economics over time are an essential part of this study. Moreover, earnest empirical research provides the necessary building blocks to create praxis which lasts longer than the flash in the pan of the 1960s radical moment. -- This thesis combines, in an innovative form, Marxist sociology through applied and embedded ethnographic praxis, and the political theory of Antonio Gramsci as a fundamental and underpinning support for the ethnographic work. Each section draws together a range of theory, practice and possibility in a motivating and challenging form. Political by design, the thesis works to robustly support, through an understanding of quality theory, a serious and enlightened praxis of possibility that challenges the position of the student in higher education. The tropes of public good, freedom and integrity are now found decayed and embodied in new modes, reinforcing the position of the CEO-dictator. This doctoral research, jutting from this cacophonous background, reasserts praxis and provide a meaningful case for understanding university student activism and politics. It does this through a contextualised, historically informed and robust critique of students' relative positions and their ability to perform initiative under hegemony, which is necessarily political. In so doing, it contextualises the student career-politician as the embodiment of state corruption and hegemonic reproduction and identifies the role and possibility for the organic intellectual activist. This realises a Gramscian imaginary of student qua class leader. Indeed, regardless of the level of agreement on epistemic frameworks, the deployment of Gramscian theory provides a shared space to intellectually dwell and labour over students' positionality and politics in the time of COVID-19 and gives some hope that a post-COVID campus might emerge that values the voices of students and staff in the academy. The mythical 1960s imaginings of broadening curricular model, emergent pedagogic process, and new forms of inclusion and robust discussion may once again surface. This educative movement may again activate new modes of interjection, injection and interference that enable a new form of grassroots educating and collegial social uprising that harnesses universities as spaces of possibility which may create conditions for enlightened social revolution and a collective saving of the planet and its human inhabitants. This is an education not simply for knowledge's sake, nor for the reproduction of a select elite, but a realisation of the power for education to enlighten social groups on their social conditions and the culture of their society. The organic intellectual is a direct reimagining of the hegemon's traditional intellectual, towards a location for the production of a better culture, society and planet. This thesis not only provides an intellectual challenge but is positioned as a motivator for cultural change and conversation.

Political activity and student unrest have been recurring phenomena in American universities even after they reached their apogee in the 1960s. In Rebellion in the University, Seymour Martin Lipset reviews that turbulent period and places it in a larger historical perspective. He analyzes the source of student activism, the roles played by the faculty, the spectrum of campus political opinion, and the history of American campus protest. Two decades after this book was first written, the academic community is once more sharply divided over issues of political correctness. The term refers to the efforts by campus advocates of leftist politics to control the content of speech, courses, and appointments, and to impose their views with respect to multiculturalism, minority rights, and feminism. Lipset's new introduction is a major effort to account for this new wave of repressive moralism, to explain the issues involved, to locate sources of support and opposition, and to voice a judgment about the current situation in the American academic community.

"What can student activism at flagship public universities of the toss-up states of Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina, and Virginia tell us about polarization and the next generation of political activists? Sociologists Amy J. Binder and Jeffrey L. Kidder found that while most college campuses are considered progressive, and liberal students can be involved on campus in many ways, a lack of left-leaning infrastructure after graduation makes it hard for activist students to effectively channel their energies into political involvement post-college. And though usually in the minority, conservative students tend to be better organized as campus groups, helped by the funds and expertise of right-leaning organizations heavily involved in universities. After graduation, conservative students can readily move into those organizations to continue their politically active lives. The conservative strategy has helped to increase the number of provocations on campus and lower the public's trust in higher education. The authors' look at both liberal and conservative student activism has a compelling takeaway: the left is being outflanked by the right in recruiting young activists who will invest time and energy in party politics, with worrisome implications for the future of the Democratic party. What's more, the authors provide a helpful read on the way college students themselves are being instrumentalized by the right in US culture wars"--
