Description
As BAME academics working in the UK higher education (HE) institutions, we set our research paper in the context of HE architect framed by the neoliberal mechanism with economification and marketisation of the university becoming a dominant practice as argued by many (Ball, 2021; Costa, 2022; Giroux, 2020). Using an autoethnographic approach alongside a critical review of existing literature and research, this research paper analyses the tensions between research and teaching in HE neoliberal architecture and addresses the impact on academic identities by interrogating the purpose of HE pedagogy and research (Deem & Brehony, 2005; Griffioen, 2024; Kwhali, 2017; Quigley, 2011). It is strongly hoped that this creates dialogical space for scholars, researchers and policy makers to further consider implications for HE pedagogy, research and policy making for fulfilment of HE institutions’ societal responsibilities to support the individual learners, families and communities in the ever changing and challenging 21st century.Estimated audience numbers (if applicable)
