The University

In Spain, the functions assigned to the University are varied and have changed over time. Currently, it is considered that university activity should be focused on improving the well-being of the society in which the university is located. Thus, any quality control of the Spanish university system must consider whether the university is fulfilling the purposes that society has assigned to it. In Spain, the task of quality control of universities is mainly assigned to the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA). In principle, through different programs, this agency evaluates different aspects of the Universities. However, as can be seen in this research, the control activity is limited to university degrees and the activity of the teaching staff. Moreover, this control hardly measures to what extent the University system is achieving its goals.

RESUMENExiste ya una gran acumulación de trabajos que critican el modo en que la universidad se está concretando, tanto a nivel local comomundial. Las principales críticas se centran en la orientación mercantil, tanto como en el abandono de la identidad basada en laconstrucción colectiva y desinteresada de conocimiento. A pesar de la envergadura de la crítica, las publicaciones no abundan enla descripción de alternativas, que reciben comparativamente muy poco esfuerzo. Se observa, además, que los procesos de cambiose afianzan con rapidez y poca resistencia, por lo que resulta ya urgente dar forma a modos alternativos de hacer universidad. Porello, este trabajo plantea un diagnóstico crítico sobre la institución actual, pero se sitúa en una clara perspectiva propositiva. Para ellorealiza una investigación empírica mediante entrevistas en profundidad a 16 miembros del profesorado universitario español que hanpublicado trabajos críticos en torno a la universidad y a principios rectores o propuestas concretas. El objetivo fue no solo describirsomeramente la universidad que contempla este profesorado experimentado sobre el asunto, sino también identificar barreras para suconsecución y posibles soluciones. Los resultados permiten identificar varias categorías relevantes y diseñar un guion de trabajo paraorientar el proceso hacia la buena universidad.Palabras Clave: Buena universidad, Universidad crítica, Revolución universitaria, Transformación de la universidad.ABSTRACTThere is already a great accumulation of work that criticize the way in which the university is specifying itself, both locally and globally.The majority of the criticism focuses on the commercial orientation, as well as on the abandonment of identity based on the collectiveand uninterested construction of knowledge. Despite the magnitude of the criticism, publications do not abound in the description ofalternatives, which receive comparatively very little effort. It is also observed that the processes of change take hold quickly and withlittle resistance, therefore it appears to be urgent to give shape to alternative ways of making universities.

This article reports on and discusses the experience of a contrapuntal approach to teaching poetry, explored during 2016 and 2017 in a series of introductory poetry lectures in the English 1 course at the University of Johannesburg. Drawing together two poems—Warsan Shire’s “Home” and W.H. Auden’s “Refugee Blues”—in a week of teaching in each year provided an opportunity for a comparison that encouraged students’ observations on poetic voice, racial identity, transhistorical and transcultural human experience, trauma and empathy. It also provided an opportunity to reflect on teaching practice within the context of decoloniality and to acknowledge the need for ongoing change and review in relation to it. In describing the contrapuntal teaching and study of these poems, and the different methods employed in the respective years of teaching them, I tentatively suggest that canonical Western and contemporary postcolonial poems may reflect on each other in unique and transformative ways. I further posit that poets and poems that engage students may open the way into initially “less relevant” yet ultimately rewarding poems, while remaining important objects of study in themselves.

The authors introduce the EFAB™ manufacturing process originally invented at the University of Southern California and currently being commercialized by MEMGen Corporation. They discuss its significant recent evolution as an alternative to conventional microdevice manufacturing technologies, suggest a range of geometries and applications that are enabled by this process, and develop the case that EFAB represents a fundamental shift in the way the microdevices are manufactured.
