Taking a long-term historical and future perspective on the
university is critical at this time. The university is being
refashioned, often by forces out of the control of academics,
students, and even administrators. However, there remain
possibilities for informed action, for steering the directions that
the university can take. This book maps both the historical factors
and the alternative futures of the university. Whereas most books
on the university remain focused on the European model, this volume
explores models and issues from non-Western perspectives as
well.
Inayatullah and Gidley draw together essays by leading academics
from a variety of disciples and nations on the futures of the
university, weaving historical factors with emerging issues and
trends such as globalism, virtualization, multiculturalism, and
politicization. They attempt to get beyond superficial debate on
how globalism and the Internet as well as multiculturalism are
changing the nature of the university, and they thoughtfully assess
these changes.
