Description
Stefan Collini's analysis of the changing face of academia is a thought-provoking examination of the impact of globalisation and technological advancements on higher education. With over 140 institutions in the UK alone, the numbers are staggering, yet the shift towards business-like operations poses significant challenges to the core values of learning. Collini questions the assumptions behind recent policies, including marketization and accountability measures, and argues that these changes may be distorting what we truly value about education. He calls for a more nuanced approach, one that prioritises critical thinking and presses for positive change. This book is an invitation to re-examine the status quo and consider alternative perspectives on the role of universities in society.
