Final Year Project
Project Title
The Office of Student Life at Habib University and Student Affairs Departments in Liberal Arts Universities
Description
This research paper was written for an advanced anthropology class on bureaucracy. My paper looked at the department of Student Life at Habib University and attempted to locate what its role should be among the theories of bureaucracy and student affairs (which are mostly produced by Western ideas of higher learning institutions). Its purpose was to see if Student Life constituted a traditional bureaucracy (through the work of Max Weber) or if it fits into the model of the Student Affairs departments in Liberal Arts colleges (as dictated by Student Affairs professionals in the US).The resulting work found the importance of Student Life as a governing body through Foucault’s idea of Governmentality and the antithetical nature of traditional ideas of the bureaucracy to the work done in Student Affairs departments in Liberal Arts colleges.
