Interdisciplinary Research, Tenure Review, and Guardians of the Disciplinary Order

ABSTRACT While interdisciplinarity has been promoted in universities for decades, research suggests that untenured faculty struggle to receive recognition for their interdisciplinary research. Informed by the microfoundations of institutional theory and discursive legitimation, we examine how members of academic departments participate in the legitimation and reproduction of tenure and promotion norms in relation to disciplinary and interdisciplinary research in a prestigious private university. Our analysis draws on 59 interviews with department chairs, directors of interdisciplinary centers, and disciplinary and interdisciplinary untenured faculty in the STEM fields, the social sciences, and the humanities. Our findings reveal three mechanisms and processes through which tenure and promotion norms become legitimated and reproduced in academic departments: 1) institutional micro-practices concerned with evaluation and gatekeeping, 2) discursive legitimation of the expulsion of interdisciplinarity at the pre-tenure stage, and 3) scholarly positioning through discursive boundary strategies directed at rationalizing the expulsion of interdisciplinarity or the expansion of existing tenure and promotion norms. Taken together, these findings advance our understanding of the tensions between the promotion of interdisciplinary research in higher education institutions, reproduction of the disciplinary order in academic departments, and interdisciplinary early-career scholars’ career advancement.

Aleitamento materno exclusivo entre pessoas em situação de cárcere: abordagem interseccional e abolicionista para análise da produção científica no Brasil entre 2000 e 2022

Abstract In Brazil, there has been an uncontrolled increase in incarceration of women, and this situation is not interrupted during periods of pregnancy or lactation. A scoping review was carried out to systematically map and synthesize evidence published since 2000 on the practice of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) among imprisoned people in Brazil. Intersectionality and penal abolitionism were the theoretical-methodological approaches used to analyze the studies. A total of 25 studies were selected, 90% of which were published from 2010 to 2020. In the context of maternal and child health, they mainly exposed the difficulties of maintaining EBF in prison, including the lack of definition of a minimum period of stay for the baby, the lack of professional guidance for the practice of EBF, and the inadequate structure of prison units. In the area of law, the studies reported tensions between the disciplinary order and children’s irreducible human right to food. The studies focused the investigation on the mothers’ experiences, but did not question the practical and historical forms of imprisonment, especially regarding Black, female, and poor bodies. Critical and propositional approaches are necessary to produce evidence toward the guarantee of rights to health and food.

Stories from third space — A case and considerations of design research education from a Swedish vantage point

Debates continue about the positioning of design within research-driven universities. While the idea of autonomy has had a strong appeal, it is the bridging across established academic cultures that has proved especially effective for legitimizing design research and research education. Revisiting a conception of design as a ‘Third Space’ and drawing on a case – the Swedish Faculty for Design Research and Research Education (2008–2015) – we discuss what ‘thirdness’ can entail in context. Our account of this case reveals the unsettled dynamics of navigating in, between and across academic cultures. Design research education, we argue, has prospects to cultivate a critical space within academia, in which its ‘thirdness’ entails sensitization and agitation of the territorial conditions of knowledge. There is a need for a reconsideration of design – and academia more generally – not as a static disciplinary order but as a contested archipelago that opens for alternative orientations.

Analisis Permasalahan Pengurusan Izin Mendirikan Bangunan di Kota Bekasi (Kantor Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu Kecamatan Bekasi Selatan Kota Bekasi)

Building Construction Permit or often referred to as IMB is a permit granted by the Regional Head to building owners who change forms, build new buildings, renovate and maintain their houses. In the City of Bekasi, the implementation of a Building Permit is regulated in Regional Regulation No. 04 of 2017 concerning the disciplinary order and IMB retribution. The results of this study are expected to be input for the South Bekasi District in order to create the first IMB management. This research uses the theory of Public Service Quality according to Sinambela which has indicators of Transparency, Accountability, Conditional, Participation, Equality of Rights, Balance of Rights and Obligations. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of this study indicate that the quality of obtaining a Building Permit in the South Bekasi District is in accordance with the applicable Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). There are also problems from the owner of the building itself that needs repairs and supervision from the relevant apparatus

Economic crime, economic criminology, and serious crimes for economic gain: On the conceptual and disciplinary (dis)order of the object of study

This article has two main objectives. First, to interrogate the concept and/or conception of ‘economic crime’ (framed as a singular thing). We argue that current policy, and subsequently, social scientific (or criminological more specifically) framings, tend to arbitrarily ‘carve up’ the objects of study that interest us, in turn creating a ‘conceptual disorder’ that has implications for how we explain, and respond to, these harmful crimes. This raises questions about the value of the concept of ‘economic crime’ and about the related process of conceptual abstraction. In analytical terms, we argue that more can be gained by focusing on the necessary and contingent relations of serious crimes for economic gain. Second, to scrutinise the logic of ‘economic criminology’ (framed in terms of a singular discipline) and assess the value that criminology can add to analyses of related behaviours. Notwithstanding the journal’s aim to create a sub-field of ‘economic criminology’, we argue that research into the nature, organisation and control of serious crimes for economic gain ought to begin from the perspective of how we can create integrative, collaborative or multi-dimensional accounts of these behaviours in order to better organise, and identify, the most plausible explanations and interventions. To this end, we explore different ways of working interdisciplinarily, considering the underlying logic and/or rationale for doing so.

Eğitim Kurumlarında Yaşanan Çok Boyutlu Disiplin Sorunlarının Giderilmesine Yönelik Disiplinel Yaklaşımların İncelenmesi

The aim of this study is to examine the disciplinary approaches to the elimination of multidimensional disciplinary problems experienced in educational institutions. All behaviors that disrupt or completely prevent the educational learning process are expressed as undesirable behaviors. In schools, all unwanted behaviors in the classroom, both outside the building and inside the building, disrupt the order of students and teachers in the classroom and prevent access to the desired qualities of education. Especially unwanted behaviors in the classroom prevent the course from reaching its goals, as they can cause situations such as poor use of time, decreased motivation of teachers and students. It has been stated by many researchers what are the undesirable behaviors that disrupt the disciplinary order. When it comes to discipline, almost everyone comes up with a number of rules, but when it comes to the disciplinary approach, experts think in different ways. Some of the disciplinary approaches put forward by researchers can be classified as preventive discipline, supportive discipline, corrective or curative discipline, punitive discipline and restorative discipline. In this study, multidimensional disciplinary problems within the above framework and the disciplinary approaches put forward in particular will be addressed. Key Words: Educational Institution, Discipline, Disciplinary Approach

대학자치와 인사행정상의 부패방지방안

The Constitution recognizes university autonomy to practically guarantee academic freedom. University autonomy means that universities autonomously decide and execute university issues without external influence and take responsibility for the results.
 National and public universities and private universities, within the scope of not violating the Constitution, the Higher Education Act, the Education Public Officials Act, the Disciplinary Order for Education Officials, and the Private School Act, the University Faculty Personnel Regulations, University Faculty Disciplinary Regulations, University Faculty Promotion Regulations, University Faculty Reappointment Regulations, The Articles of Incorporation, etc. are regulated autonomously, and new recruitment, reappointment, promotion, dismissal, and disciplinary actions are reviewed by the University Personnel Committee, the Faculty Personnel Committee, and the Faculty Disciplinary Committee in accordance with the faculty personnel related regulations. Personnel authority and disciplinary authority have been conducting personnel administration at their discretion. In particular, university personnel administration is understood as a lawful disposition, not judged as a deviation or abuse of discretion, unless it significantly loses its validity from a socially accepted point of view.
 Despite the fact that fairness, objectivity, and integrity are more required in the faculty personnel department, the sacred university that seeks truth demands money and valuables while hiring new teachers, solicits or arranges professor appointments, or delays, academic ties, or Personnel corruption is constantly occurring due to collusion in hiring relationships due to blood ties, abuse of power, bribery, embezzlement, intentional deception, fraud, and non-compliance with personnel regulations.
 In the case where the Ministry of Education has conducted a comprehensive audit when personnel corruption at a specific university has become a social problem, most of them are given a 'Warning' or 'Caution' despite the fact that the personnel corruption was revealed. In addition, even though the sentencing for personnel corruption by teachers is a matter of severe punishment, they are disposing of light punishment without objective reasons for mitigating.
 Therefore, after examining the concept, legal nature, content and limitations of university autonomy, the direction for preventing corruption in university personnel administration is presented. In particular, from the viewpoint of ensuring university autonomy under the Constitution, the direction of enactment of the Anti-Corruption Act on personnel administration of university faculty, rationalization of the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act, strengthening of university self-audit functions, establishment of good governance in personnel administration, rationalization of anti-corruption policies, and mandatory education on integrity and ethics, and discusses the mandatory use of the personnel management system.

Smartphones in the Swedish upper-secondary classroom: A policy enactment perspective

ABSTRACT This study addresses normative orientations to smartphone use in Swedish upper-secondary classrooms. We present a Nexus Analysis from a policy enactment perspective of a material comprising ethnographic interviews, classroom video observations, and smartphone screen capture, investigating how a cultural conception of the smartphone as a source of disturbance is negotiated in discursive and embodied social action. Three groups of policy actors – head teachers, teachers, and students – balance competing agendas such as digitalization strategies, popular media narratives, and student autonomy and peer relationship maintenance. There is a tension between orientations to the smartphone as a legitimate resource for socialization and learning in the digitalized classroom, but also as an exception to desired digitalization – a potential threat to the social and disciplinary order of the classroom. Notably, the students display considerable awareness of such tensions, in reflective comments made in interviews and in displayed strategies for managing their smartphones in class.

Guardians of the Discipline: Institutional Maintenance through Tenure Review

While interdisciplinary research continues to be promoted in universities, early-career researchers struggle to receive recognition for their interdisciplinary work and advance in their academic careers. Drawing on institutional work and the study of professions, we examine how professional norms around career promotion are discursively constructed and used in institutional maintenance. We conducted 59 interviews with department chairs, directors of interdisciplinary research centers, and disciplinary and interdisciplinary untenured scholars in an American university. We identify two modes of discursive institutional work—expansion and expulsion discourse—which suggest that while interdisciplinarity activated efforts to transform tenure review, it also triggered institutional work to maintain disciplinary order. The untenured interdisciplinary scholars used expansion discourse to argue that the tenure review norms should be revised. However, the untenured scholars simultaneously drew on expulsion discourse to reflect on the illegitimacy of interdisciplinary research. The senior scholars relied mainly on expulsion discourse arguing that interdisciplinary research among tenure track faculty should be renounced. We contribute to extant literature by demonstrating the discursive and performative aspects of institutional work by professionals as well as by shedding light on the discursive production of justifications for institutional practices that actors seek to legitimize and maintain. More broadly, our findings problematize the career risks that untenured interdisciplinary scholars take to accomplish the interdisciplinary aims of their universities.

Sustainability in Higher Education Institutions in the Amazon Region: A Case Study in a Federal Public University in Western Pará, Brazil

Sustainable development (SD) in higher education has occupied the agenda over recent decades. Higher education institutions make efforts to promote sustainability in education, curriculum, research, outreach, and campus operations. This article aims to analyze the level of implementation of sustainability in higher education in the Amazon. The specific objectives of this paper are to identify the curriculum greening (CG) characteristics in institutional development plans (IDPs) and to analyze the perceptions of students from a higher education institution in the Amazon region about sustainability. It follows a qualitative approach, with documentary research and questionnaires applied to students. Analysis content was used in the data analysis. The main findings are the presence of some CG characteristics in institutional documents that were analyzed as a commitment to the transformation of society–nature relations, contextualization, disciplinary order, democracy, theory and practice, students as knowledge protagonists, cognitive aspects, alternative scenarios, and methodological adequacy. The results show that commitment to sustainability cannot just be a declaration of good intentions. It is essential to discuss the ways of implementing sustainability in the academic environment, as it implies changes in epistemological, political, and social conceptions.

Transdisciplinaridade: a busca pela unidade do conhecimento científico e tecnológico

Introduction: Reflections about the unity of knowledge have taken place at various times in history. Modern science, however, brings in its wake the issue of disciplinary specialization, which caused a profound change in the search for scientific knowledge. The new disciplinary order, increasingly specialized, hindered the integrated vision of science and knowledge, leading to a distancing from the various realities contained in the same problem or circumstance, and even disregarding the necessary integration among knowledges. Objectives: To understand the relevance of searching for all aspects of the same situation, this research aims to deepen the contributions and understandings of some of the first thinkers who dealt with the unity of knowledge, extending to Kurt Gödel, considered as the father of transdisciplinary, and to Mode 2 of knowledge production by Michael Gibbons. Method: This study consists of an interpretivist, qualitative research, resulting in a critical literature review, which synthesized the information through evaluation and in-depth discussion about the unity of scientific and technological knowledge. Results: Unity of knowledge refers to the fact that conditioned knowledge can only achieve its integrity through unconditioned knowledge, the latter not merely a contingent aggregate, but an indispensable system for the complete identity of conditioned knowledge. Conclusion: Transdisciplinary, in this respect, is the search for the unity of knowledge, beyond disciplinary boundaries, to capture the full complexity of the multidimensional and the multi-referential Reality of the conditioned element

Nathan Snaza, Animate Literacies: Literature, Affect, and the Politics of Humanism (Duke University Press, 2019); Jack Halberstam, Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire (Duke University Press, 2020); Julietta Singh, Unthinking Mastery: Dehumanism and Decolonial Entanglements (Duke University, 2018)

When people think of academic libraries, they don’t usually think of them as wild places, or <em>de</em>humanizing institutions. Quite the opposite, in fact. The disciplinary order of the library is generally considered to be, along with higher education itself, an expression of the highest form of humanist discourse and ideals. Not only do these books bear an intellectual kinship with one another, but they are also all published by Duke University Press, and in their writings, the authors have each acknowledged one another as friends. The lessons offered by Nathan Snaza, Jack Halberstam, and Julietta Singh are useful to academic librarians because they call into question some of the metaphors, objectives, and stated values of our profession—things we tend to take for granted like mastery, discipline, universality, and order—and describe some of the ways in which these concepts are derived from colonial projects. Together, these books provide insight into what queer desire and decolonization have to do with each other, calling some of librarianship’s foundational principles into question and expanding the range of what can be thought in our own field.

Meanings of Culture and Books. From “Marriage of Convenience” to Signs of “First Love”

The article examines the polygraphic prerequisites for social reflection of the late Soviet and post-Soviet intellectuals and the connection between the autonomy of intellectual work and the autonomy of the publishing cycle. Based on a comparison of changes in publishing technologies and procedures for preparing manuscripts for printing, the change of large paradigms in the perestroika era is reconstructed as derivatives of the cult of reading and the system of institutions that support it. It is argued that although intellectuals upheld the classical canon, the very ways of canonizing works of the past were deformed by changing publishing procedures. The crisis in publishing planning coincided with a new understanding of the intellectual's mission, which meant the establishment of new types of reading as dominant. Thus, the thought of autonomous culture and the simultaneous reconceptualization of world literature contributed to the understanding of publishing procedures as autonomously significant. The disintegration of the disciplinary order of the Soviet publishing sphere and independent scientific book publishing made it possible to complete the project of describing literature as a place of production of norms for the reception of culture that cast doubt on the previous state of literature, thereby approving the program of post-Soviet cultural studies.

Examining PCAOB disciplinary orders on small audit firms: Evidence from 2005 to 2018

The purpose of this paper is to improve our understanding of small U.S. domestic audit firms and the quality of their audits. We use hand collected data from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's (PCAOB) website and provide an analysis based on 171 settled disciplinary orders issued to 150 small audit firms over the sample period from 2005 to 2018. We identify some key compliance issues associated with audits performed by small audit firms such as lack of due professional care, impaired auditor independence and inadequate engagement quality reviews. Our findings also indicate that risky clients (i.e., clients associated with disciplinary orders) pay higher audit fees and are less likely to receive a going concern opinion than peer clients not associated with a disciplinary order. Further, we discuss the implications of our research for practitioners, regulators and researchers in an attempt to enhance the overall health of the audit market.

“Republican” Mutinies in the Spanish Navy: Resonances of an Era of Rebellion and the Erosion of an Empire

AbstractAt the end of the eighteenth century, the large-scale warfare that confronted the major European powers exceeded their financial capabilities. This, in turn, affected the operational effectiveness of their military machinery and disturbed its disciplinary order. Consequently, by the 1790s, French, British, and Dutch naval crews resorted to mutiny on an enormous scale. They were driven by fatigue, harsh conditions of service, and disagreements with higher command. Decades later, the Real Armada witnessed a series of riots, resembling those of its rival powers but linked to the struggles for independence in the Hispanic-American colonies. Nearly all historians have overlooked the Spanish case, but the motives and direct consequences of the Spanish mutinies are worthy of explanation as part of global processes driven by the Age of Revolutions. Moreover, they offer an opportunity to improve the knowledge of early modern Spanish naval society.

Evolution of the concept of abuse of means of correction and discipline

The crime of abuse of means of correction and discipline connotes punishment pipeline generally lawful, such as those relating to the use of the means of correction and discipline against a subject about which you have any disciplinary power, but that present an excess sufficient to overcome the rehabilitative purpose inherent in the aforementioned means alone which involves the legality of their forecast without falling in the application of an offense under Article. 571 penal code, modified never in literal text. Historically the interpretation of the scope of such incriminating case was not easy, as it has suffered more than other rules of the evolution of social customs, family and more generally cultural, which definitely has inevitably impacted on the scale of the notion abuse. The jurisprudence of the Supreme Court, such as about who has promptly implemented the guidelines, has greatly expanded the area of the illegality of the means of correction and discipline, reaching now to encompass any form of violence also moral or psychological, which It is therefore totally banned from the range of application of the provision and the use of means not only illegal but also whether former lawful when modified the underlying disciplinary order, which so discriminate more behaviors that the active subject holds despite a rehabilitative purpose actually, as it was considered by the jurisprudence dating.

Artificialidade Intencional: um princípio para reposicionar o corpo

Resumo: O artigo desenvolve um exercício de pensamento sobre o princípio da artificialidade intencional depreendido da obra de Edward Gordon Craig com o objetivo de fazer mover o corpo na formação docente. As noções foucaultianas de corpo dócil, corpo utópico e heterotopia são postas em operação em lateralidade com as propostas craiguianas da Übermarionnette e do Projeto Scene, com intuito de pensar o corpo artificial da marionete em relação ao corpo orgânico das estudantes de Pedagogia. Conclui-se que há duas vias coexistentes e conflitivas que operam nos processos de subjetivação, uma relacionada à ordem disciplinar e outra que aciona o corpo para a criação.

Awarding punishment in the form of deprivation of a military, special rank, grade, degree or qualification class

The article deals with the discussion questions of the peculiarities of sentencing in the form of deprivation of a special, military rank, grade, degree or qualification class. The author researches the reasons of imposition of mentioned punishment, specialities of its imposition with some basic punishments and considers the possibility of extending of imposition of mentioned punishment for the crime of any severity regardless of whether the person was deprived of appropriate rank, grade, degree or qualification class in administrative or disciplinary order.

“A Very Important Yet Complicated Matter”

Informant networks were an integral feature of the Soviet Gulag. This article sheds light on their size, structure, recruitment methods, aims, and results using archival documentation primarily from the Estonian ssr. Focusing on the Khrushchev era, it demonstrates that although the regime placed high value on the networks as a way of fighting crime and managing inmate behavior, various factors mitigated against the realization of these goals. In the end, the networks were used by local administrators not to create institutions of strict disciplinary order as instructions from central authorities dictated, but rather to help cultivate the “customary order” that penal officials globally strive for: a modus vivendi between inmates and administrators that tolerates some infractions of penal regulations by the former and an acceptable level of corruption by the latter.
