The central role played by universities in producing both knowledge and researchers is similarly acknowledged, with the doctorate increasingly recognized as a crucial phase in establishing both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eBounded Knowledge: Doctoral Studies in Egypt\u003c\/i\u003e explores these debates from a uniquely Egyptian perspective. It provides a fresh, historical analysis of how doctoral studies evolved in Egypt and an ethnographic inquiry into the actual conditions of knowledge production in the country's public universities, with focus on the humanities and social sciences. Although it is commonplace to speak of international collaborations in knowledge production, institutional settings and material conditions are so uneven as to make the fiction of equality impossible to sustain. The chapters in this book, by social scientists within and outside Egypt, look closely at how such academic hierarchies are reinforced in the context of the internationalization of research. They also look at the ways in which notions of socially responsible research, common the world over, are translated in the particularly Egyptian context: how research topics are discussed, how doctoral studies are organized, and ultimately, how society thinks about research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Mona Abaza, The American University in Cairo, Egypt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Daniele Cantini, Martin-Luther-University of Halle\/Wittenberg, Germany \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Nefissa Dessouqi, Cairo University, Egypt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Hala Kamal, Cairo University, Egypt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Jonathan Kriener, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Ola Kubbara, Cairo University, Egypt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Ahmed Mansour, University of Alexandria, Egypt\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e David Mills, University of Oxford, England\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniele Cantini \u003c\/b\u003eis a social anthropologist based at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, in Germany, where he also serves as coordinator of the Graduate School and Research Cluster \"Society and Culture in Motion.\" His regional focus is the contemporary Middle East, in particular Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, where he lived for many years and conducted research on youth, university systems, subjectivity, religion, migration, and knowledge production.
