KEYNOTE<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Impact of University Rankings on What Counts as Knowledge and Who Counts
\nDr. Michelle Stack, Associate Professor, Department of Educational Studies<\/span><\/p>\n

We only need to look at the websites of universities to see the importance rankings are accorded. A multitude of studies point to the substantive methodological flaws and colonial underpinnings of rankings. Other studies point to the impact of rankings on equity and who and what is deemed world class.<\/p>\n

University leaders often recognize the limitations of rankings, but also speak about being in a Catch 22 situation regarding the necessity to promote or mitigate their university\u2019s positioning. To ignore rankings is to become invisible and in a competitive funding context this seems dangerous, but to acquiesce can lead to a focus on branding in place of the university as a place for free and challenging thought.<\/p>\n

A critique of rankings is the first part of the presentation, but the aim of the presentation is to talk about how we might expand conversations about who and what counts in higher education.<\/p>\n
