USING SOCIAL THEORY IN HIGHER EDUCATION KARTONI...

This open access book offers a unique and refreshing view on working with social theory in
higher education. Using engaging first-person accounts coupled with critical intellectual
analysis  the authors demonstrate how theory is grappled with as part of an ongoing practice
rather than a momentary disembodied encounter. In a structure that creates a space for
relational dialogue  each chapter is followed by a response from another author  demonstrating
the varied interpretive possibilities of social theory. Collectively the authors invite the
reader to engage with them in questioning the usefulness of social theory in higher education
teaching and research  in considering its possibilities and limits  and in experiencing the
opportunity it offers to understand ourselves and our work differently. Written in a way that
is scholarly yet accessible  the contributors explore how social theories can be used to think
through issues that are emerging as key social and political concerns in higher education and
beyond. The book will be of interest to advanced undergraduates  postgraduates  and
early-career academics  as well as established scholars.
