Higher Education in the UK and the US - Converging University Models in a Global Academic World? (Paperback)

Higher Education in the UK and the US: Converging University Models in a Global Academic World? edited by Sarah Pickard addresses the key similarities and differences in higher education between the two countries over the last thirty years, in order to ascertain whether there exists a specific 'Anglo-Saxon model'. This interdisciplinary book is divided into three thematic parts dealing with current fundamental issues in higher education within neoliberal Great Britain and the United States: economics and marketisation of higher education; access and admittance to universities; and the student experience of higher education. The contributors are all higher education specialists in diverse academic fields - sociology, political sciences, public policy studies, educational studies and history - from either side of the Atlantic. Contributors are: Bahram Bekhradnia, James Cote, Marie-Agnes Detourbe, John Halsey, Magali Julian, Kenneth O'Brien, Cristiana Olcese, Anna Mountford-Zimdars, Sarah Pickard, Chris Rust, Clare Saunders, Christine Soulas, and Steven Ward. *Higher Education in the UK and the US: Converging University Models in a Global Academic World? is now available in paperback for individual customers.
