    A new relational employability approach for universities with Elizabeth J. Cook

    In this episode, Janja Komljenovic talks with Elizabeth J. Cook, who is a Senior Analyst, Strategy and Performance at Edith Cowan University and a doctoral researcher in the PhD in Higher Education, Evaluation and Enhancement at Lancaster University. Elizabeth talks about her doctoral research, which developed and implemented a new relational employability approach for universities. She describes her conceptualisation of relational employability as a broader, holistic and interconnected understanding of employability that incorporates three equally important elements: (1) basic individualistic career development, career management and careers (getting into the workforce and having a successful career to benefit oneself); (2) humanistic interactions and contributions throughout careers; and (3) more-than-human interactions and contributions throughout careers. Elizabeth explains how she conducted this research, using design research methodology and mixed methods, and describes her publishing adventures while being a student at Lancaster, with some publishing tips that may benefit other doctoral researchers.

    EdTech and the construction of legitimacy with Dan Clark

    Daniel Clark is the Head of Technology Enhanced Learning at the University of Kent and a PhD researcher at Lancaster University. In this talk, Daniel draws upon his professional experiences and applies a critical lens to the emergent rhetoric of EdTech in post-pandemic HE. Daniel discusses his recent paper; a critical discourse analysis of sector-orientated literature published in response to the pandemic. Daniel argues that whilst technology may have been the ‘saviour’ of HE from the immediate challenges of the pandemic, the opportunistic dialogue that emerged has problematically imbued debate with notions of the pandemic as a catalyst for transformation, opening the door to unprecedented levels of investment into a pervasive and data-driven paradigm of EdTech.  Daniel argues that the rhetoric of EdTech is mediatory of neoliberal, libertarian, and consumerist ideologies, and that the portrayal of technology as a wholly beneficial enterprise obscures issues of privacy, ethics, and structural inequality.    Talking to Daniel, is Dr Janja Komljenovic, a Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University and the Director of CHERE@LU.

  8. On Users, disrupters and how edtech aims to reshape education with Hemy Ramiel

    On Users, disrupters and how edtech aims to reshape education with Hemy Ramiel

    Dr Hemy Ramiel is a postdoctoral researcher in the sociology, communication and political sciences department in the Open University in Israel. In this episode, Hemy talks about his research of an Israeli edtech R&D unit and a startup incubator. He discusses his choice of studying the edtech field through this organisation and the notion of disruption as the primary logic for the units’ activities. Also, the logic of disruption can be understood as a perspective for understanding the edtech industry agenda for educational change. Hemy presents his analysis on how students are framed as digital users in the edtech production; and the implications of this “userisation” framework on the education sector. Finally, Hemy touches on some fundamental traits of the edtech field, such as its technological solutionism and its universal cross-cultural ideas. The episode concludes with the ways we need to think critically about edtech products and policy agendas. The two articles discussed in the episode are: “Edtech disruption logic and policy work: the case of an Israeli edtech unit” published in Learning, Media and Technology; and “User or student: constructing the subject in Edtech incubator” published in Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education. Talking to Hemy, is Dr Janja Komljenovic, a Lecturer of Higher Education at Lancaster University and the Director of CHERE@LU.
