Places of Inquiry - Research and Advanced Education in Modern Universities (Hardcover, Reissue)

This text explores one of the major issues in university education today: the relationship between research, teaching and study. Based on cross-national research on the university systems of Germany, Britain, France, the United States and Japan, this book offers in-depth comparative analysis and draws provocative conclusions about the future of the research-teaching-study nexus. The book identifies the main features and limitations of each national system: governmental and industrial dominance in Japan, for example, and England's collegiate form of university. It examines the forces drawing research, teaching and study apart and those binding them together. Highlighting the fruitful integration of teaching and research in the American graduate school, Clark decries the widely held view that these are antithetical activities. Rather, he demonstrates that research provides a rich basis for instruction and learning. Universities, he maintains, are places of inquiry, and the future lies with institutions firmly grounded in this belief.
