This book explores how the notion of the responsible university
manifests itself at various levels within Nordic higher education.
As the impetus of the knowledge society has catapulted the higher
education sector to the forefront of policy agendas, universities
and other types of higher education institutions face increasing
scrutiny, assessment and accountability. This book examines this
phenomenon using the Nordic countries as cases in point, given the
strong public commitment towards widening participation and public
research investments. The editors and contributors analyse the
history and current transformations of the idea of the responsible
university, investigate new innovations in the educational
landscape and look into how universities have begun to organise
themselves to become more responsible. Drawing together scholars
from the humanities and the social sciences, this interdisciplinary
collection will be of interest and value to students and scholars
of the role and nature of the modern university, in addition to
practitioners and policy makers tasked with finding solutions to
address the competing and often contradictory demands posed by a
responsibility agenda.
