Summary

Knowledge Production in Higher Education explores the construction and dissemination of knowledge about the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Europe within higher education institutions. The contributors critically examine how traditional perspectives, especially Orientalist views, shape academic inquiry and advocate for a reflective approach that challenges these entrenched frameworks. This work invites readers to reconsider positionality and the decolonisation of academia by illuminating the impact of differing educational traditions on research questions and assumptions.

This book is essential for scholars, researchers, and students interested in higher education, Middle Eastern and European studies, decolonisation, and critical approaches to knowledge production.

Understanding how knowledge is produced in higher education about Europe and the MENA requires an open, interdisciplinary and interregional approach. This volume systematically challenges the dynamics and realities that go beyond dominant European-MENA-centric accounts, while avoiding the pitfalls of simplification and knowledge fragmentation.

Description

Mindful of divisive labels in constructions of the 'Middle East and North Africa' (MENA) and of 'Europe', the editors and contributors of Knowledge Production in Higher Education reflexively immerse themselves into an investigation of how knowledge about these regions is produced at higher educational establishments.

Zooming in on mutual scholarship about 'Europe' and/or 'the MENA' opens up a wide range of possibilities for supplanting visions of so-called traditional Orientalists, to abandon the sets of magnifying glasses through which the Other is studied. For those interested in the decolonisation of academia and issues of positionality, this is a must-read.

Michael Robbins highlights the book's crucial examination of how diverse educational traditions influence research on the MENA and Europe, emphasising its value for scholars reflecting on positionality. Larbi Sadiki praises the volume for shedding light on misconceptions about 'Oriental' and 'Occidental' knowledge production, calling it a timely and thought-provoking contribution. Overall, reviewers commend its insightful critique and relevance to contemporary academic debates.
