"For many institutions, to ignore your university's ranking is to become invisible, a risky proposition in a competitive search for funding and talent. But rankings tell us little if anything about the education, scholarship or engagement with communities offered by a university. Drawing on a range of research and inquiry-based methods, Global University Rankings and the Politics of Knowledge this book exposes how universities became servants to the education industry and its impact. Conceptually unique in its scope, Global University Rankings and the Politics of Knowledge addresses the lack of empirical research behind university and journal ranking products systems. Chapters from internationally recognized scholars in decolonial studies provide readers with robust frameworks to understand the intersections of coloniality and Indigeneity and how they play out in higher education. Including contributions from diverse geographical and disciplinary contexts, this book explores the political economy of rankings within the contexts of the Global North and South, as well as examines alternatives to media-driven rankings. This book allows readers to consider the intersections of power and knowledge within the wider contexts of politics, culture, and the economy, to explore how assumptions about different factors such as gender, social class, sexuality, and race, underpin the meanings attached to rankings, and to imagine a future that confronts and challenges cognitive, environmental, and social injustice."--

ABSTRACT. This study explores a collaborative project between high school youth and adult educators (graduate students in education) to create public service announcements. How do young people and educators talk about media, politics, power, and social change? Based on my observations of participant interaction, I argue that power is not dichotomous, with adults necessarily exerting power over youth. The very act of creating a collaborative video can provide a meaningful pedagogical tool to mobilize the individuals involved to engage in conversations about the meaning of social justice and strategies for achieving greater social justice. LA PRODUCTION DE VIDÉOS ET LA COLLABORATION ENTRE LES JEUNES ET LEURS ÉDUCATEURS : DÉBOUCHÉS ET DILEMMES RÉSUMÉ. Cette étude fait l'examen d'un projet collaboratif mené entre des jeunes du secondaire et leurs éducateurs adultes (étudiants à la maîtrise en éducation) pour créer des De quelle manière les jeunes et les éducateurs abordent les média, la politique, le pouvoir et les changements sociaux? Basée sur mes observations des interactions des participants, j'affirme que le pouvoir n'est pas dichotomique, les adultes exerçant leur pouvoir sur les jeunes. L'exercice de créer un vidéo collaboratif offre des outils pédagogiques signifiants. Il permet de mobiliser les individus en les engageant dans des conversations sur le sens de la justice sociale et les stratégies possibles pour augmenter sa prévalence.

This article is a critical discourse analysis of coverage in the National Post and the Globe and Mail concerning the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development's 2000 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). In this article, I have shown how numbers are interpreted through statistics to create a reality and analyzed the mechanisms used, through which information is constructed and reconstructed by and for the media. I have also explored how diverse voices are represented. The discourses of neoliberalism were embedded in the coverage of the PISA results and discourses that accentuated regional stereotypes were in use. Key words: policy, media education, neoliberalism L'analyse du discours critique présentée dans cet article porte sur la couverture dont a fait l'objet le Programme international pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) 2002 de l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques dans le National Post et le Globe and Mail L'auteure étudie comment les chiffres sont interprétés à travers des statistiques en vue de créer une réalité et quels sont les mécanismes utilisés pour construire et reconstruire l'information par et pour les médias. Elle explore en outre comment les diverses voix sont représentées. Les discours du néolibéralisme faisaient partie intégrante de la couverture des résultats du PISA ; des discours accentuant les stéréotypes régionaux y étaient utilisés. Mots clés : politiques, médias éducation, néolibéralisme

One understudied area of adult education and lifelong learning is the role of media as educator and policy player. This article describes how the authors used critical discourse analysis to examine how asylum seekers, migrant workers and their advocates have challenged long-standing discursive framings of them as benefactors of Canadian generosity, criminals, burdens or victims – during the first ten months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis points to the difficulties of navigating media engagement to advocate for individuals facing deportation from Canada, while also attempting to challenge the dichotomy of people seen either as worthy of dignity (those who work for low pay and in dangerous conditions to care for Canadians) or as unworthy (those who work on farms or who are not able to work). However, it also reveals the potential for critical lifelong media education to inform the work of adult educators across classroom, labour and social movement contexts to disrupt exclusionary and oppressive media and government narratives.

Although the mainstream media and education systems are key institutions that perpetuate various social inequalities, spaces exist—both within and beyond these institutions—where adults and youth resist dominant, damaging representations and improvise new images. In this article, we address why educational researchers and educators should attend closely to popular media and democratizing media production. We analyze and illustrate strategies for engaging with and critiquing corporate news media and creating counter‐narratives. We explore media education as a key process for engaging people in dialogue and action as well as present examples of how popular culture texts can be excavated as rich pedagogical resources. Key words: media literacy, cultural studies, participatory democracy, popular culture, news, youth, schooling, public sphere, media education, educational policy Bien que les médias et systèmes d'éducation traditionnels soient des institutions clés qui perpétuent divers types d'inégalités sociales, il existe des espaces – à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur de ces institutions – où les adultes et les jeunes opposent une résistance aux représentations dominantes préjudiciables et improvisent de nouvelles images. Dans cet article, les auteures expliquent pourquoi les chercheurs en éducation et les enseignants devraient porter une attention spéciale aux médias populaires et à la démocratisation de la production dans le domaine des médias. Elles analysent et illustrent des stratégies favorisant l'implication dans les médias d'information, la critique de ces médias et la création de discours variés apportant un contrepoids au discours dominant. Les auteures explorent l'initiation aux médias comme un outil‐clé pour inciter les gens au dialogue et à l'action et montrent, à partir d'exemples, comment le dépouillement de textes tirés de la culture populaire peut constituer une méthode pédagogique fructueuse.
