Zusatztext A thoughtful! data-driven and extraordinarily useful analysis of key themes shaping the global higher education landscape. Informationen zum Autor Claire Callender OBE is Professor of Higher Education at Birkbeck University, UK, and at IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK. William Locke is Professor and Director of the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Simon Marginson is Professor of Higher Education at the University of Oxford, UK, Director of the ESRC/RE Centre for Global Higher Education and Joint Editor-in-Chief of Higher Education. Zusammenfassung Published open access, Changing Higher Education for a Changing World draws on the outcomes of the cutting-edge research programmes of the UK-based Centre for Global Higher Education, the world’s largest social science research centre focused on higher education and its future. In countries with incomes at European levels, the majority of all families now have connections to higher education, and there is widespread popular interest in how it can be made better. Together, the contributors sharply illuminate key issues of public and policy interest across the world: Do research universities make society more equal or more unequal? Are students graduating with too much debt? Who do we want to be attending universities? Will learning technologies will abolish the need for bricks-and-mortar higher education institutions? What can countries do to improve their scientific performance? How can comparative teaching assessment and research assessment become much more effective? The book explores higher education in the major higher education regions including China, Europe, the UK and the USA.
