    The article sets out with the question of how writing cultures in a multilingual setting of 50 countries and even more languages like Europe can be studied. Each country formed its own system of higher education and looks back to its own lines of teaching traditions. In spite of attempts to “harmonize” higher education through what is called the “Bologna Process”, communication on writing in Europe is still lacking a consistent terminology, especially on genre and writing practices. The article gives a short overview on genre theory and defines what “educational genres” are and how they develop. Examples are given on their relationships to writing practices and writing cultures. The contribution of contrastive and cross-cultural research to an understanding of national writing cultures is discussed and difficulties in interpreting contrastive studies are mentioned. Writing and genre use, it is argued, are framed by a large set of context conditions like classroom practices, curricular organization, institutional and disciplinary writing cultures as well as national and language-specific conditions so that it is difficult to interpret results from contrastive research. By outlining the writing cultures of France, Germany, Italy, and Romania, four examples are given of how national cultures may develop and which role genres play in shaping writing practices. The article concludes with some remarks on developmental trends of writing cultures.

    Comparing apples and oranges – frequently, this is what we do when we talk about similarities and differences regarding higher education in the United States and Europe. Based on the assumption that higher education policy texts are cultural texts to be interpreted, this book deconstructs four US American cultural narratives within higher education (co-opetition, the frontier myth, McDonaldization, and the narrative of security), and compares these to discourses prevailing in Europe. Disputing the prevalent claim that both the recent European higher education transformation initiative, the Bologna Process, and the establishment of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) have had absolutely no impact on US institutions of higher learning, this study proves that cultural narratives in the last decade have strongly determined political and structural developments in higher education on both sides of the Atlantic. This book therefore adds another facet to the transatlantic dialogue on higher education by providing a cultural critical perspective, including the Foucauldian theory of governmentality as well as aspects of postcolonial theory.

    The thesis “Student Performance in Higher Education: Ability, Class Attendance, Mobility and the Bologna Process” empirically analyzes determinants of students’ success at university. Administrative student data as well as survey data collected at Göttingen University, Germany are used. Chapter 2 identifies individual and institutional factors, for example the high school leaving grade or the faculty a student is enrolled at, and analyzes their impact on academic performance. In this context, academic performance is measured in three dimensions: the probability of obtaining any degree at un...
