Professor Simon Marginson is Professor of International Higher Education at the Institute of
Education, University of London, UK. He was Professor of Higher Education in the Centre for the
Study of Higher Education (CSHE) at the University of Melbourne, Australia, from July 2006 until
October 2013, and is now an Honorary Professorial Fellow of the University of Melbourne
CSHE. Simon Marginson is Joint Editor-in-Chief of Higher Education. He specializes primarily in
higher education, and comparative and international education in the context of globalization,
being one of the world’s most highly cited social science researchers in these fields.
In 2014 he
is the Clark Kerr Lecturer on higher education at the University of California.
Academic career: After 15 years as a policy research officer for the national unions representing
students, teachers and faculty, Simon joined the Centre for the Study of Higher Education at
the University of Melbourne as Senior Lecturer and later Associate Professor/Reader (19931998). He completed a PhD in the University’s Faculty of Education in 1996 and was awarded
the Chancellor’s Prize for the outstanding thesis in the social sciences, arts and humanities. He
chaired the editorial board of Australian Universities Review 1995-2000. In 1998 he joined the
Monash University Faculty of Education as Reader, was appointed to a Personal Chair in 2000
and directed the Monash Centre for Research in International Education 1999-2006. He edited
the Australian Journal of Education 2000-2005. He became Fellow of the Australian College of
Education (FACE) in 1994 and Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences Australia (FASSA) in
2000. In 2002 Simon was awarded a five year Australian Research Council (ARC) Australian
Professorial Fellowship. Simon returned to the University of Melbourne Centre for the Study of
Higher Education in July 2006. He was Visiting Professor for four months at Hiroshima
University in Japan in 2009. In 2011 he was appointed as one of the Co-ordinating Editors of
Higher Education and in 2013 became joint Editor-in-Chief with Jussi Valimaa from Finland.
Between 1995 and 2013, when he left Australia, Simon held continuous Australian Research
Council (ARC) large grants for basic research. In Australia he was awarded over £1.1 million in
national competitive grants and £1.8 million in all research project funding during his academic
career.
On 28 October 2013 he took up the post of Professor of International Higher Education
at the Institute of Education (IOE) in London. He works in the Centre for Higher Education
Studies (CHES) and teaches in the IOE’s MBA program in higher education. In July 2014 he was
elected to Academia Europaea, which represents leading experts in all disciplines. In February
2015 it was announced that the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) would fund a
£6 million research centre focused on higher education, led by Professor Marginson and
located at the UCL Institute of Education in London, for 2015-2020. The Centre includes ten UK
and international partner universities, 13 projects and 25 collaborative researchers altogether.

Scholarship: Simon works in sociology, socio-cultural studies, political economy and political
philosophy. He has written two books of educational history. He moves between observationbased qualitative empirical research (his primary research techniques are semi-structured
interviews, and contextualized institutional case studies), and conceptual inquiry and
development, with each informing the other. His task is to understand and explain higher
education (and more generally, human society) in context. Simon uses a critical realist
approach to inquiry and reflection. He is especially concerned with the political implications of
phenomena, and is interested in problems of agency freedom and equality, and in the
potentials of knowledge, inquiry and education to augment human and social capacity. He is
active in all of local, national, international, regional and global forums. In comparative studies
he emphasizes multi-positionality, reciprocity and learning from the other, alongside inquiry
into commonalities; a perspective deepened by engagement with higher education in Japan
and China (and an encounter with the civilization of the ancient Maya in 2007). In the 1990s
Simon focused primarily on markets, competition and public/private sector issues in education,
and on Australian national policy. In the 2000s he joined this work to inquiries into globalization
and higher education, university rankings and international student security. The earlier work
on positional/status competition, and its manifestations in higher education, evolved further.
His investigation of globalization has continued in the 2010s, with emphases on the Asia-Pacific
region, and comparative state analysis. Simon is working on books and articles designed to
theorize, synthesize and explain global relations and transformations in higher education,
knowledge and creative work.
Currently he is especially interested in the similarities and
differences between Sinic and Anglo-American political cultures, the manifestations in
government, higher education and research, and the implications for global society and
governance. As a result of the invitation to be University of California Clark Kerr Lecturer in
2014 he revisiting the fundamentals of higher education, on a comparative basis. Ideas: Through research and scholarship Simon Marginson has developed a small number of
concepts, and applications of existing concepts, that have been taken up in higher education
studies. New ideas include the ‘glonacal’ (global/national/local) positionality for explaining
agency in the global higher education environment, developed with Gary Rhoades in 2002; the
theorisation of the ‘Post-Confucian’ Model of higher education (2011) to explain the dynamism
of higher education and science in East Asia; and the notion of higher education as a process of
self-formation, combining economic and non-economic practices, first published in relation to
international education in 2013. Simon’s application of Fred Hirsch’s (1976) theorisation of
positional competition to education, including global competition; his employment of the
notion of global public goods developed by the UNDP (Kaul, et al., 1999) in relation to higher
education and research; and his notion of international student security, developed with Chris
Nyland and drawing on the UNDP concept of human security, have also entered the literature.
Publications: Simon’s books include Education and Public Policy in Australia (1993), Educating
Australia (1997), Markets in Education (1997), The Enterprise University (with Mark Considine,
2000) and International Student Security (with Chris Nyland, Erlenawati Sawir and Helen
Forbes-Mewett, Cambridge University Press, 2010). In 2009-2010 he published three books on
creativity and globalization with Peter Murphy and Michael Peters: Creativity and the global
knowledge economy (2009), Global Creation (2010) and Imagination (2010). In 2011 he
released four books including Higher education in the Asia-Pacific: Strategic responses to
globalization (edited with Sarjit Kaur and Erlenawati Sawir), The Handbook on Higher Education
4
and Globalization (edited with Roger King and Rajani Naidoo) and Ideas for Intercultural
Education (with Erlenawati Sawir). In 2013 he edited or coedited four books including The
Globalization of Higher Education, a book of readings (with Roger King and Rajani Naidoo), and
The Dawkins Revolution 25 Years On (with Gwil Croucher, Andrew Norton and Julie Wells). In
2014 Simon releases The Age of STEM (Routledge, with Brigid Freeman and Russell Tytler) and
Higher Education in Vietnam (Palgrave, with Ly Tran and seven other coauthors). He is
preparing a monograph provisionally titled Higher Education. Simon's journal boards including
Higher Education, British Journal of Sociology of Education, Journal of Studies in International
Education, and in cultural politics, Thesis Eleven. He also serves Higher Education Policy, Higher
Education Quarterly, Journal of Education and Work and Critical Studies in Education, among
others. He has published more than 300 journal articles, review essays and book chapters (not
including self-authored books) including contributions to Cambridge Journal of Economics,
Cambridge Journal of Education, Comparative Education Review, Educational Theory, and
Higher Education Research and Development. Simon has co-written three policy papers for the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). He prepares 10-20
newspaper articles per year, and various blogs and non-refereed publications. Translated
papers have appeared in Peking Education Review in China, Critique in France, and journals and
monographs in Spain and Mexico. Four of his books have been translated into Chinese and a
fifth book, a set of essays on globalization not all published in English, is in translation.
Other activities: In addition to academic research and writing, doctoral supervision and
teaching, and to University-related service, Simon contributes to community, industry and
professional organisations and is a regular public and media commentator on higher education,
especially national policy in the UK and in Australia, and on developments in higher education
in East and Southeast Asia, and in Europe and Russia. He has conducted many education policy
studies, basic and applied, including commissioned reports for the Australian and Victorian
government, OECD, the European Commission and the governments of Malaysia, Hong Kong,
Vietnam, Netherlands and Ireland; and contributes to government and international agency
committees, inquiries and meetings. Recent policy-related papers include work on university
governance, the implications of globalization for higher education, global university rankings,
policy on and regulation of international education in Australia, including international student
rights and security, and an international comparison of government policies and strategies in
relation to the STEM disciplines. Simon is fortunate to have scholarly collaborators In the UK
