The Civic University: The Policy and Leadership Challenges

This edited collection from John Goddard, Ellen Hazelkorn, Louise Kempton, and Paul Vallance addresses the leadership and management challenges for universities that engage with civil society, both locally and globally.

It develops a model of the civic university as an academic concept, drawing out practical lessons for university management on how to embed civic engagement in the heartland of the university.

The book draws on the experience of eight institutions including University College London, which is covered in a chapter by John-Paul Addie and James Paskins. It will be of interest to academics of politics, public policy and management studies, as well as having relevance to policymakers in the field.
