The Evolving Nature of Universities: What Shapes and Influences Identity in International Higher Education (Routledge Research in Higher Education)

Synopsis

Using analysis and review of international case studies and emerging models, Lamie and Hill’s edited book explores the very nature of a university and discusses growth, sustainability, and risk as universities navigate their role, value and purpose. As universities continue to emerge from the pandemic, there is new room to critically reflect on the role of higher education, both locally and abroad, and how it impacts a sense of place, identity, and engagement within their communities. The authors contribute their unique perspectives to explore these themes and advise on how a university can best benefit the well-being and development of its students, staff and the local community. To what extent are universities shaped by their environment? How does this provide them a fixed sense of identity or a launching pad to expand beyond their immediate location? Such questions are examined along with the constraints and opportunities open to HEIs as they navigate the waters of international higher education and their impact on communities around the world. This deeply reflective text will appeal to researchers and students in higher education, as well as policymakers interested in the future of international higher education.
