VIRTUAL EVENT: Changing Higher Education for a Changing World book launch

'Changing Higher Education for a Changing World’ (Bloomsbury, 2020) explores higher education in the major higher education regions including China, Europe, the UK and the USA. It has 17 chapters that draw on the outcomes of the Centre for Global Higher Education's (CGHE) globally-focused research programmes and sharply illuminates key issues of public and policy interest across the world. 

The book explores issues such as: 

• 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 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? 

Following an introduction by co-editors William Locke and Simon Marginson, other contributors will discuss their chapters, followed by a Q&A session, chaired by co-editor Claire Callender.

This webinar is jointly presented by the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education and the Centre for Global Higher Education.

Please note: The book launch starts at: 7am British Summer Time (BST), 5pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT), 2pm China Standard Time (CST).
