My name is Nitya Nanda Timsina. I would not like to introduce myself with the status like 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�researcher에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트� or a 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�scholar에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�. I simply prefer to call myself a lifelong learner or a student of higher education who is learning to confront the facticity of education in terms of economic development and how in this process the Nepalese higher education come to derive its name and legitimacy 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�decentralized에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트� and 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�autonomous에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�.

Abstract

My interest in this presentation particularly stems from my effort to revisit my doctoral thesis: 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�Discourse of higher education reform in Nepal에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�towards neoliberalism에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�an idea that the world is best governed by invisible hands of the markets. My research shows that this reform, which manifests through the language and vocabulary outside the historical structure and consciousness of the Nepalese, is not driven by community of scholars, let alone understood by the people of Nepal. In that I argue, how neoliberalism as a way of describing human life through a system of winners and losers, is negotiating this reform.  The primary setting of my work is in Nepal concerned with ongoing higher education reform sponsored by the World Bank but there is a wholistic world the reform talks about outside the national space to an abstract whole that led me to approach the reform as a discourse. By deploying Foucault에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�s archaeological approach to discourse and genealogical approach to history, my research was interested in knowing how in this process, the Nepalese higher education reform derived its name and legitimacy 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트� 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�decentralized에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트� and 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�autonomous에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�. The fieldwork, approached through a technique of recognising strangeness in all social arrangements by moving beyond what is only familiar, acceptable or normal, focused on how the four sets of actors에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트�policymakers, educational administrators, teachers and students 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트� enact this discourse.
