Higher education and the institution of the university exist in
time, their essential nature now continually subject to change:
change in students, in knowledge, in structure and in their own
communities and those they service. These changes are accompanied
by a quickening of time, leading to a heightened intensity of
academic life. Yet the nature of time in all the contemporary work
on the university has been largely overlooked. This is an important
omission and Universities in the Flux of Time has gathered leading
academics whose contributions to the volume raise a debate as to
the influence and use of time in the university. They do this in an
exploration of how these changes are perceived in higher education
and how these affect its temporality from local, national and
global perspectives. By dealing with the time within the
university, the book opens new spaces for the development of the
university and civic society. The book develops an
interdisciplinary understanding of the temporal issues of engaging
with the past, present and future of higher education and its
institutions, through consideration of the increased speed demanded
for the production of able students and innovative research, to the
accountability pressures from central governments and commerce.
Reflecting on these issues in the higher education sector,
Universities in the Flux of Time is split into three parts, with
each one addressing time and its multiple relationships with the
university: Past, present and future Knowledge and time Living with
time This volume will provide essential reading for those on higher
education studies courses as well as a wider audience of managers,
practitioners, policy makers, academics and students and from many
disciplinary perspectives including sociology, organisation
studies, social psychology and the philosophy of education.
