Across the globe, the higher education and research sector is changing rapidly. As it continues to expand along the elite-mass-universal trajectory described by Martin Trow, it is subject to unprecedented structural reforms and transformations. These changes are often captured in a framework variously labelled ‘academic capitalism’, ‘marketization’ or ‘entrepreneurialism’, with the common denominator that the market is the new central principle of academic practice.
We invite submission of abstracts for a panel entitled "Discourses from Latin America and the Caribbean: Current Concepts and Challenges", to be proposed as a part of The Sixth International Conference on Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines (CADAAD 2016), which will take place at the University of Catania in Italy, 5-7 September 2016.
