Imagining Excellence: Examining, Predicting, and Projecting the Future of Prestige in Higher Education

Thu, April 24, 8:00 to 9:30am MDT (8:00 to 9:30am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2G

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Research on prestige in higher education points to a need for centering the marginalized perspectives of institutions and communities often left out of, harmed by, or assumed deficit within prestige discussions. This symposium seeks to reimagine prestige for a more just future, challenging dominant frameworks in prestige research and the imaginaries they reflect. Each of the panelists bring a particular perspective that pushes through the constraints of current conceptualizations of prestige and offers a reimagination of what excellence can be within a different vision of higher education, focused on distinct institution types and/or communities within them. This symposium will make a significant contribution towards rebuilding higher education, how we understand it, and how we study it.
