Higher Education Institutions simultaneously critique and participate in national and international rankings of universities. However, this creates a difficult situation since if universities do participate in rankings they acquiesce to a system based in media logics that has little to do with academic norms of research.

Michelle Stack is Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Studies at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Her research centers on the role of media and market logics in the transformation of education; media education; and media-academic communication aimed at expanding public debate about what a good education is. Prior to becoming an academic Michelle was a communications director and policy consultant.

“This is an excellent read which gives both conceptual and empirical analysis on the mediatization of higher education. The key strength of the book is the rich data used by Stack to challenge the claimed neutrality of rankings. … This helps readers to understand her arguments, even if readers do not have a background in media education. This book is relevant not only to communications professionals, but also policymakers, university staff, educators, as well as university students.” (Dorothy Ferary, Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, June 05, 2019)
