I'm a lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Johannesburg.
Academic journals. Teaching philosophy. Johannesburg Brixton for sale. Web2.0. Digital natives. Microfinance. Research tools. Approaches for successful lit review. Instruments of development v1c_jan09.doc. Anthropology. Climate change. The Flagship University: A response to the World Class University paradigm – University World News. It is a familiar if not fully explained paradigm.
A World Class University is supposed to have highly ranked research output, a culture of excellence, great facilities, a brand name that transcends national borders. But perhaps most importantly, it needs to sit in the upper echelons of one or more of the world rankings generated each year. That is ultimate proof for many government ministers and for much of the global higher education community.
