This chapter discusses the need for an alternative to neoliberalism, which has convinced many people that there is no alternative to free-market capitalism. The experiences of people suffering from the consequences of neoliberal policies, such as poverty and environmental pollution, are depoliticized, and there is a democratic deficit when politici...
With the exponential growth of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) provision in higher education, which is rapidly outpacing empirical research, this book outlines approaches to EMI in a range of regional contexts to exemplify different interpretations of implementing EMI policy in higher education. The book provides an in-depth understanding of evolv...
The introduction of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) has changed higher education enormously in many European countries. This development is increasingly encapsulated under the term Englishization, that is, the increasing dispersion of English as a means of communication in non-Anglophone contexts. Englishization is not undisputed: legal ch...

The worldwide introduction of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) programmes has stimulated numerous reflections within and outside academia. These reflections find their expression in both scholarly studies into EMI and public debates about its impact. In this article we argue that one can distinguish two types of reflections about EMI. The f...
Despite the enormous expansion of EMI research, the potential of students' multilingualism remains unacknowledged. The challenge is not to neglect this multilingualism that includes the different languages students master and their access to language-related knowledge resources. Therefore, this study aimed to unravel students' multilingualism as a...
Lafont rightly criticizes the expertocratic shortcut, i.e. the expectation that citizens blindly defer to experts. This shortcut is based on the assumptions that citizens are generally politically ignorant. I will argue that it is necessary to address not only the political ignorance of citizens, but also that of politicians, scientific experts and...

Specifically, we consider two issues, the quality of education o...

The quantitative questionnaire (valid response 105) probed t...
Sociologie als ketterse praktijk.Debat: ‘Over nut en nadeel van de sociologie voor het leven’
Mit ›Deliberation‹ werden grundsätzlich politische Argumentationsprozesse gekennzeichnet. In einem normativen Verständnis von Deliberation, wie es Jürgen Habermas entwickelt, werden deliberative Verfahren als Mechanismus legitimer Herrschaft verstanden. Daher tritt qualifizierend hinzu, dass die Argumentationsprozesse prinzipiell öffentlich sind un...
Fred Wester slaagt er niet in zijn kritiek op mijn proefschrift goed te beargumenteren. Zijn kritiek betreft vooral vier kwesties: de methode van onderzoek, de definitie van het begrip intellectueel, de relatie tussen feiten en waarden en het spanningsveld tussen waarheid en methode.

Opmerkelijk is d...
