| Continuity and Change in the Private
University
Dr. Stromquist's proposed research under the
Fulbright New Century Initiative "Higher
Education in the 21st Century: Global Challenge
and National Response" will examine changes
in faculty conditions and academic governance
in a leading private university in Peru occurring
over the past decade, and the extent to which
these shifts are responses to the forces of economic
globalization that demand greater responsiveness
to the market (including student perceived needs)
and a concomitant emphasis on the production of
practical knowledge. Latin America has a rich
tradition of university autonomy in its decision-making
and the role of the university to conduct critical
analysis of its society. These changes are thus
profound giving particular interest to an effort
to document and understand the shifts in university
roles and responsibilities in this part of the
world.
A close collaboration is proposed with Peruvian
academicians, led by a highly respected sociologist,
to analyze overall trends at the university level
and to compare disciplines that have benefited
substantially from global economic and technological
trends (e.g., engineering, communication, and
business) with those that seem to have benefited
the least (e.g., sociology, philosophy, and history).
Both quantitative (a structured survey) and qualitative
(interviews and focus groups) research methods
will be used. Access to the crucial views of university
administrators and faculty will be greatly facilitated
by the personal contacts of the proposed team
of researchers. Frequent dialogue between the
researchers will ensure shared understanding of
study objectives, interpretations, and policy
recommendations.
