University Rankings in Critical Perspective

Brian Pusser and Simon Marginson

The Journal of Higher Education, 2013, vol. 84, issue 4, 544-568

Abstract: This article addresses global postsecondary ranking systems by using critical-theoretical perspectives on power. This research suggests rankings are at once a useful lens for studying power in higher education and an important instrument for the exercise of power in service of dominant norms in global higher education.
