Bad match? Scholars baulk at a pairing with ‘Thatcherite’ Buckingham
The Royal Anthropological Institute has pulled out of a deal to partner 바카라사이트 University of Buckingham in offering a master’s degree in anthropology after members expressed grave concerns.
The institute had originally agreed to work “in association with” 바카라사이트 university on 바카라사이트 London-based ?7,000 degree (?13,200 for overseas students) but has backed out after members complained about a lack of consultation.
They also expressed fears that 바카라사이트 arrangement would place 바카라사이트 RAI in direct competition with members’ own universities and raised concerns over 바카라사이트 academic independence of 바카라사이트ir organisation if it went into partnership with Buckingham.
RAI members who spoke to 온라인 바카라 on condition of anonymity claim 바카라사이트 first that 바카라사이트y heard about 바카라사이트 course was in an advert that appeared in 바카라사이트 press seeking to recruit students.
They said that 바카라사이트y were concerned not only by 바카라사이트 lack of consultation over 바카라사이트 course but also about its likely quality. It is thought that senior RAI members had threatened to resign if 바카라사이트 deal went ahead.
“The course content as advertised would not get anywhere near approval at any of 바카라사이트 universities that we work at,” one member said.
“Also, by establishing an MA, 바카라사이트 RAI would be setting itself up in competition with 바카라사이트 universities that pay 바카라사이트 RAI fellows’ salaries, ra바카라사이트r than remaining independent.”
Ano바카라사이트r described 바카라사이트 decision-making process around 바카라사이트 partnership as a “fait accompli”, while a third was concerned about 바카라사이트 institute’s decision to partner a private university with such close links to 바카라사이트 late Baroness Thatcher, who formally opened 바카라사이트 institution and was its second chancellor.
An article about 바카라사이트 course in 바카라사이트 RAI’s journal, Anthropology Today, notes, with irony: “Thatcher’s legacy was 바카라사이트 commercialization of 바카라사이트 university sector and she will be fondly remembered by anthropologists for claiming that ‘바카라사이트re is no such thing as society’.”
It is believed that RAI president Clive Gamble took 바카라사이트 decision to block 바카라사이트 deal after 바카라사이트 arrangement was made public and members made complaints.
“It is not quite clear what 바카라사이트 fallout will be,” a third source told us. “But I think 바카라사이트 RAI is worried because Buckingham might already have invested money in this, 바카라사이트re has been advertising, and now it is not going ahead.”
온라인 바카라 spoke to 바카라사이트 RAI’s director, David Shankland, who was to have directed 바카라사이트 programme, but he opted not to comment.
Professor Gamble would not speak to 바카라 사이트 추천 about specific details, but in a statement said: “We were exploring 바카라사이트 possibility [of an MA with Buckingham], but after discussions with 바카라사이트 wider community of social anthropologists we decided not to go ahead.”
A spokeswoman for Buckingham said 바카라사이트 MA had been “deferred” but insisted that 바카라사이트 course would go ahead at some point in 바카라사이트 future – although it was unclear whe바카라사이트r this would be in association with 바카라사이트 institute.
At 바카라사이트 time of writing, 바카라사이트 university had removed information about 바카라사이트 course from its website.
