Zusatztext 'The University in Translation raises questions about the purposes of higher education that in the current climate we all too easily forget; I commend it as a notable and original contribution to Higher Education studies, a field that is seriously bereft of such serious scholarship.' Michael Young, Emeritus Professor, University of London, Institute of Education, UK Informationen zum Autor Suzy Harris is Professor at the School of Education, Roehampton University, UK. She is Editor of the journal, International Studies in the Sociology of Education. Vorwort Explores fundamental questions about language and education that arise from the current debate into the 'internationalization' and 'harmonisation' of higher education systems throughout the world. Zusammenfassung What is the purpose of the university in a globalized and internationalized world? How do we talk about higher education? How is language used in higher education? The author argues that the kind of language we use is critical to the kind of education we have, and that the instrumentalist language dominant today is deeply damaging.
