Winner of the Comparative and International Education Society
Higher Education Special Interest Group Best Book Award for 2014!
As universities increasingly engage with the world beyond the
classroom and the campus, those who work within higher education
are left to examine how the university's mission has changed.
Official reviews and debates often forget to inquire into the
purposes and responsibilities of universities, and how they are
changing. Where these matters are addressed, they are rarely
pursued in depth, and rarely go beyond current circumstances. Those
who care about the university's role in society are left looking
for a renewed sense of purpose regarding its goals and aspirations.
The Future University explores new avenues opening up to
universities and tackles fundamental issues facing their
development. Contributors with interdisciplinary and international
perspectives imagine ways to frame the university's future. They
consider the history of the university, its current status as an
active player in local governments, cultures, and markets, and
where these trajectories may lead. What does it mean to be a
university in the twenty-first century? What could the university
become? What limitations do they face, and what opportunities might
lie ahead? This volume in the International Studies in Higher
Education series offers bold and imaginative possibilities.
