Australian authors win American prize

A book co-authored by Professor Simon Marginson has received the Outstanding Publications Award for the post-secondary education division at a recent American Educational Research Association conference in Seattle.

Professor Marginson, and co-author Associate Professor Mark Considine from the University of Melbourne, received the award for their book The Enterprise University: Power, Governance and Reinvention in Australia.

It is the first time scholars or researchers outside the US have won the award.

The book, published by Cambridge University Press, looks at how universities are dealing with a changing world in which global markets and economic rationalism have caused major cultural shifts in approaches to tertiary education.
