“…Such a narrative coheres broadly with descriptions of the field of U.S. higher education. Colleges and universities are sharply stratified by prestige or status (Brewer, Gates, and Goldman 2002;Gonzales et al 2013) and financial wealth (Taylor and Morphew 2013;Winston 1999Winston , 2004. This hierarchy is reinforced by competition for resources, which tends both to channel resources to the already-advantaged and to legitimate existing inequalities by applying a veneer of fair play (Slaughter and Cantwell 2012).…”

“…Colleges and universities have responded by shifting their curricula (Delucchi 1997;Kraatz and Zajac 1996;Taylor, Cantwell, and Slaughter 2013) and research activities (Colyvas and Powell 2006;Powers 2004;Slaughter and Leslie 1997) into favored areas. Faculty work has begun to emphasize scientific measures of productivity-such as publications in peer-reviewed English-language journals-rather than instruction or service (Gonzales, 2013(Gonzales, , 2014Gonzales, Martinez, and Ordu 2013;Tuchman 2009). In other words, much as higher education is increasingly central to society, S&E is increasingly characteristic of the ways in which colleges and universities are organized (Meyer et al 2006).…”

This multi-site qualitative study focuses on evangelical Christian colleges, which sit at the juncture of the institutionalized fields of religion and higher education. Because widely held norms and reward structures characterize institutionalized fields, these two social spheres stand ripe for conflict with one another. I conceptualize field-level conflicts by drawing on ''classic'' institutional theory. I illuminate campus officials' responses to field-level conflicts using recent innovations in the neo-institutional tradition that emphasize agency, strategic action, and field-level hierarchy. Findings therefore both describe these colleges as organizations and refine emerging concepts in neo-institutional theory.

“…Like most academics we struggle with workload and feel stress and pressure from the demands of the sector to produce outcomes and meet Key Performance Indicators, sometimes to the detriment of our health and family situations (Gonzales, Martinez, & Ordu, 2014). Using a global education mindset, this requires that we describe the researchers in this study in a way that is relevant.…”

In response to the global economy, universities around the world have increased internationalization efforts. This article focuses on internationalization in U. S. universities, discussing the history, presenting models and examples, reviewing the extent of internationalization on U.S. campuses. We end with a discussion on the rationales, the political realities of the new nationalism, the competition among Western universities for rankings that emphasizes high-profile internationalization, the current political questions affecting internationalization and the future of the field. While our focus is on the United States, many of the concepts and theories we discuss apply to other countries as well. ***Internacionalização em universidades dos EUA: história, filosofia, prática e futuro***Como resposta à economia global, as universidades ao redor do mundo vêm incrementando seus esforços para se internacionalizaram. Este artigo tem como foco a internacionalização de universidades dos Estados Unidos discutindo a história, apresentando modelos e exemplos e examinando a presença da internacionalização no campus americano. Concluímos com a discussão sobre as racionalidades, as realidades políticas do novo nacionalismo, as argumentações acadêmicas contra as universidades do ocidente que enfatizam os altos perfis internacionais, as atuais questões políticas que afetam a internacionalização e o futuro do campo. Apesar do foco deste trabalho ser os Estados Unidos, muito dos conceitos e teorias discutidas podem ser aplicados para outros países.
