This anthology offers comprehensive insight into topical issues
of change in international higher education. Confronted with the
challenge of increasing quality and relevance, the individual
articles deal with aspects of teaching and learning, curriculum
development, organization, and research in the university context.
Many of them refer to concrete projects implemented in universities
of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. They were developed in the
University Staff Development Programme and run by the Institute for
Socio-cultural Studies, University of Kassel (Germany). The
anthology is dedicated to Matthias Wesseler, an active pioneer in
change processes in international higher education. The
contributors are colleagues in the field of international higher
education, many of whom have known him as a teacher and mentor.
