Die Fachhochschulen in der Schweiz: Pfadabhängigkeit und Profilbildung

Der Aufbau der Fachhochschulen zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre fand in einem unschweizerisch rasanten Tempo statt und führte zu einer Differenzierung und wachsenden Vielfalt im Schweizer Hochschulwesen. Der Beitrag geht erstens der Frage nach, wie sich im Planungsprozess das hochschulpolitische Feld ausdifferenziert hat, welche Akteure sich positioniert haben, welches ihre Leitvorstellungen sind und wie sie zusammenwirken. Anhand von empirischen Daten kann zweitens gezeigt werden, welches Profil der Fachhochschulen unter diesen Voraussetzungen entstehen konnte. Dieses wird datenbasiert für das Lehrpersonal, die Studierenden und die Forschung dokumentiert. Im Kern werden damit Fragen der vertikalen Strukturierung des tertiären Bildungssystems und der Positionierung der Ausbildung hochqualifizierter Arbeitskräfte thematisiert. Zwei sich ergänzende theoretische Perspektiven helfen, die Befunde in einen systematischen Zusammenhang zu stellen und zu interpretieren.

Are UK undergraduate Forensic Science degrees fit for purpose?

In October 2009 Skills for Justice published the social research paper ‘Fit for purpose?: Research into the provision of Forensic Science degree programmes in UK Higher Education Institutions.’ The research engaged employers representing 95% of UK Forensic Science providers and 79% of UK universities offering Forensic Science or Crime Scene degree programmes. In addition to this, the research collected the views of 430 students studying these degrees. In 2008 there were approximately 9000 people working in the Forensic Science sector in the UK. The research found that the numbers of students studying Forensic Science or Crime Scene degrees in the UK have more than doubled since 2002–03, from 2191 in to 5664 in 2007–08. Over the same period there were twice as many females as males studying for these degrees. The research concluded that Forensic Science degree programmes offered by UK universities were of a good quality and they provided the student with a positive learning experience but the content was not relevant for Forensic Science employers. This echoed similar research by the former Government Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills on graduates from wider science, technology, engineering and mathematics degree programmes. The research also found that 75% of students studying Forensic Science or Crime Scene degrees expected to have a career in the Forensic Science sector, meaning that ensuring these courses are relevant for employers is a key challenge for universities. This paper reflects on the original research and discusses the implications in light of recent government policy.

Cultural sexism and the UK Higher Education sector

Despite the advances of the feminist movement, and wider structural legislative interventions, women remain under-represented at senior levels within academia and (some) women still experience both direct and indirect forms of discrimination throughout their careers. This article seeks to understand why this might be the case, and what, if anything we can do about it.

Using qualitative interview data which gives voice to women’s experiences, this article explores the cultural dimensions which serve to reinforce women’s structural disadvantage within the academy. Drawing upon these empirical data and informed by reflections on the notion of ‘hegemonic masculinity’ in a neo-liberal environment, this article contends that ‘cultural sexism’ provides a vocabulary through which to make sense of this structural disadvantaging. It is argued here that an understanding of the ‘ordinariness’ of cultural sexism means we can both ‘raise consciousness’, and, explore emancipatory opportunities where cultural resistance and change might be possible.
