Hi Charles:
Wow to your work on this symposium. Here is a snip from it, then a comment:
"The series of presentations are framed between trans-cultural epistemological
foundations in insight-based critical realism and inquiry into how the institutional entrepreneurs – the program directors – negotiate opportunities, risks, and tensions in curriculum and program implementation. Detailed case presentations take up curriculum effort . . . ."
Besides the overt references to epistemology and critical realism "outside" the camp, as it were, it seems you are turning another problem on its head. That is, where capitalist-saturated brains here in the U.S. want to bring education and all social programming under the capitalist mindset, and that ONLY, leading to a kind of neo-fascism, YOU are subsuming the language of capitalism (entrepreneurship) under the mindset of those who people education. Kudos to you on this historical shift, while at the same time I would caution that history has shown that the power of the lesser mindset is no pushover.
Now if we can just keep Kim and Trump from blowing up the whole thing.

Dear MSR members:
With the nominal apologies for cross-posting, I am happy to invite MSR members to this early Monday morning Aug. 7th session of possible interest. We hope to offer a first networking session for AOM-based research on the European Higher Education Area.
Best,
Charlie

| | This Symposium presents curriculum design and content issues in a Scandinavian business school at its Centenary. The aim is an exploration of an educational institution at the interface of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) within the historical trends of the European Union. We hope this step will empirically document how the goals of the European Higher Education Area are functionally linked with the entrepreneurial sensibilities of administration, faculty, and administrative staff during the concrete operations of work. The series of presentations are framed between trans-cultural epistemological foundations in insight-based critical realism and inquiry into how the institutional entrepreneurs – the program directors – negotiate opportunities, risks, and tensions in curriculum and program implementation. Detailed case presentations take up curriculum effort to successfully engage issues of interdisciplinarity, use of text production as a tool in support of project and thesis writing, and the use of plurilingual content based teaching in a cooperative learning model for European studies. The history of one curriculum model initiated to educate better citizens, combining interdisciplinary methods with language instruction, whose features have endured and diffused throughout the business school, ends the presentation set. Symposium discussion will be designed to invite participants, from within the EU and beyond, to join in collaborative practitioner research for the EHEA future. | | Search Terms: European Higher Education Area | Curriculum innovation | Scandinavian higher education | | | Teaching the EU using plurilingual content based teaching and cooperative learning | | Presenter: Magali Gravier, Copenhagen Business School | | | | At the interface of disciplines: Interdisciplinarity as a driver of curriculum innovation | | Presenter: Dorte Madsen, Copenhagen Business School | | | | Rigor AND relevance: Challenges of Master thesis writing at the Copenhagen Business School | Presenter: Karl-Heinz Pogner, Copenhagen Business School
