    International student security
    Marginson, S ; Nyland, C ; Sawir, E ; Forbes-Mewett, H ; Ramia, G ; Smith, S (Cambridge University Press, 2010-01-01)
    More than three million students globally are on the move each year, crossing borders for their tertiary education. Many travel from Asia and Africa to English speaking countries, led by the United States, including the UK, Australia and New Zealand where students pay tuition fees at commercial rates and prop up an education export sector that has become lucrative for the provider nations. But the 'no frills' commercial form of tertiary education, designed to minimise costs and maximise revenues, leaves many international students inadequately protected and less than satisfied. International Student Security draws on a close study of international students in Australia, and exposes opportunity, difficulty, danger and courage on a massive scale in the global student market. It works through many unresolved issues confronting students and their families, including personal safety, language proficiency, finances, sub-standard housing, loneliness and racism.

    ACADEMIC CREATIVITY UNDER NEW PUBLIC MANAGEMENT: FOUNDATIONS FOR AN INVESTIGATION
    Marginson, S (WILEY, 2008-08)
    Abstract In this essay, Simon Marginson focuses on self‐determining academic freedom in universities, and especially the conditions and drivers of the radical‐creative imagination that is manifest in sudden intellectual breaks in knowledge. Marginson’s objective is to establish foundations in political philosophy for a sociological study of the effects of the new public management (NPM) on academic self‐determination and radical creativity. After discussing the radical‐creative imagination, Marginson identifies the core elements of academic self‐determination as agency freedom, freedom as power, and freedom as control. He then annotates each of the particular administrative and financial practices fostered by NPM in the light of these constituents of freedom, explores the implications for the radical‐creative imagination, and identifies possible lines of empirical inquiry for further sociological study.
