Abstract
The Norwegian Centres for Excellence in Education have been developing quality in higher education for a decade. Yet a concerted mapping of the activities that centres employ has yet to be done. Based on the annual reports from the Centres of Excellence in Education we present a concerted mapping of activities that the centres initiate to develop higher education. The mapping of the activities is useful to create a broader picture of the current practices for quality enhancement in higher education and can serve as a starting point for other academic communities that are interested in developing higher education.
Our findings suggest that the centres’ initiatives are interrelated and that several activities serve multiple goals. We have found that three key activity areas encapsulate the principal activities initiated by the centres: (1) knowledge building, (2) role development and (3) partnership/collaboration. Our understanding of these key activity areas can create a broader picture of current practices for quality enhancement in higher education.

Critical Storytelling, Volume: 7
What does power abuse look and feel like in the academic world? How does it affect university faculty, students, education and research? What can we do to counteract and prevent power abuse? These questions are addressed in this collection of autobiographical poems, essays and illustrations about academia. The contributors reflect on individual experiences as well as underlying institutional structures, providing original perspectives on bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination, and other forms of power abuse in academic workplaces. They share their stories in order to break the culture of silence around power abuse in academia and point out pathways for constructive change.
