* Reflecting 'ways of universities' in the current, global context of commercialization and ongoing bureaucratization - rendering 'diversity' almost obsolete.
* Work, time and working times, including the decreasing times we spend on life, friends and thinking ...

Review of the book Knowledge, Power, and Young Sexualities. A Transnational Feminist Engagement , by Tamara Shefer and Jeff Hearn.
Humanist discourse has assumed such an ideological normalcy to the extent that any attempts at its disruption are likely to be met with severe resistance. As such, higher education curriculum design and curriculum content continue to be largely anthropocentric, buoyed by human-centred neoliberal principles that have gradually encroached the academe...
This article has two objectives: first, to contribute to the academic understanding of the relationship of money with sex work by going beyond purely instrumentalist conceptualizations; and second, to inform interventions aiming to empower sex workers’ economically. Qualitative research was conducted to better understand the financial lives of sex...
[i]symbolically illustrates the failed match of policy versus use(s): ‘cyclists dismount(and walk)’ has no equivalent whatsoever for car drivers and therewith representsa systematic priority for motorized users of public road space. It is thisreversal that is the impetus for my exploration of long-distance cycling as ActiveMobility (AM), based on i...

Over the last two decades it has become increasingly urgent to rethink current hurdles and opportunities for higher education, not just in the Global North, but in the effects of Northern policies globally. For the last 6 years a team of European scholars worked on a book entitled, Academia in Crisis (Donskis et al. 2019), AiC as it will be referre...
Academia is standing at a junction in time. Behind lies the community of the curious, ahead the mass and the market. This book joins in a growing stream of works that explore the vicissitudes of present-day European universities in what Bauman coined as liquid times. Here, a number of concerned (engaged) European scholars attempt to defend and brus...
This research reveals how the experienced “tokenism” by sex workers’ representatives who take part in HIV prevention and care partnerships hinges on a lack of expertise by “technical experts” to make use of the different types of knowledge brought to the policy table by them. The article further explores other tensions and opportunities within HIV...
This contribution provides an in-context exploration of how middle-managers make sense of their career progress, and particularly focuses on ‘merit’ to understand how careers are driven in a hierarchical organization. The study exposes ‘merit’ as a fragmented and individualized construction that links back to the participants’ broader life ambition...
Call for Papers for the Biannual International Conference of the Journal Gender, Work and Organization. 28 June - 1st July 2016 - Keele, UK
Essay, 2.537 words " Academia on Sale " 1 includes addressing managerialism, the decline of autonomy and the deterioration of the organisational climate, as well as how to maintain commitment and engagement, love for teaching, and how to revive our enthusiasm, maintain solidarity among the disciplines, and strive for a socially and academically sus...
In this era of omnipresent diversity, we face paradoxical outcomes from practices, policies and the management of diversity in organizations. On the one hand, diversity is supposed to be adopted in terms of social justice and inclusiveness: embracing all talent and reaching out to diverse groups that traditionally were not part of the core of organ...
In studies on difference related to age and gender, we face ‘abnormal’ or ‘typical’ work‐life arrangements vis‐à‐vis taken‐for‐granted career concepts. Age and career are conceptualized from different angles depending on politics of work and organization, societal perspectives of age group position, perceived needs to have people work longer, and c...
The preceding chapters cover a multitude of aspects of human rights education (HRE). Although education as a discipline is not my academic field of expertise, the approaches and debates generate a familiar feeling. Not only the critical and policy driven undercurrent of the section ‘philosophical and political perspective’, but also the foci on gen...
In the context of research into diversity (management), research on age and gender has produced a number of studies focussing on specific barriers in women's careers during the different phases of their lives. On the one hand, we find studies about young women facing primarily problems of work-life-balance. On the other hand there are studies addre...
One symptom of individualism in liquid modernity is the search for `identity'. Using the five theoretically discrete articles in this special issue as both a `rich' discursive resource and a point of departure, we develop a supplementary reading of the narratives which appear to inform identity research. We suggest that, while social agents in purs...
Acceleration, global speed, time compression and the ongoing striving
for efficiency, parallel to worldwide economic competition and the
urge for ever faster ‘growth’, pose problems for people’s orientation in life and, reflexively, for the way organizations work. Despite this intensification in the use of time–space, technological and policy devel...

Findings
The current study of the future carried out by the Dutch Innovation Platform (responsible for innovation policy) resembles an old‐fashioned utopism whereas a study conducted in 1977 by the Du...

One of the most challenging aspects of the current processes of globalization is the accelerating pace with which communication, technological information, people and goods are ‘spinning’ around the world. With the growth of our spatial scope to a global level, we have become used to acceleration in a highly competitive world, which results in a fe...
Tijd staat volop in de belangstelling. ‘Time management’ beleeft een hernieuwde groei, discussies over ‘druk, druk, druk’ en de 24-uurseconomie zijn aan de orde van de dag, evenals problemen van burn-out en ziekteverzuim. Gebrek aan tijd en de wens om werk en leven steeds ‘efficiënter’ te organiseren, leiden tot de ervaring van ‘tijd als probleem’....
As a reaction to the instrumental way in which ‘organizational culture’ has been ‘discovered’ and used by practitioners and consultants since the 1980s, some anthropologists have entered the realm of organization studies to shed light on values, habits, and the taken-for-granted aspects in the world of organization and management. In a research pro...
The topic of time management inevitably emerges when researching concepts of time in organizations. And, as we live in a society where we deal with organizations all the time and in a variety of forms, we are continually confronted with the way in which time is managed in an 'organizational' way. This article departs from a critical overview of tim...
In this article we discuss the possible impact of emphasizing the temporal dimension of `waste' on the conceptualization of waste management in late modern societies. Beginning with an analysis of a dominant discursive formation of waste management, we argue that a lack of concern for the temporal aspects of waste has led to a misconceptualization...
