The Pursuit of Possibility: Redesigning Research Universities
The Pursuit of Possibility: Redesigning Research Universities
Are British research universities losing their way or are they finding a new way? Nigel Thrift, a well-known academic and a former Vice-Chancellor, explores recent changes in the British research university that threaten to erode the quality of these higher education institutions. He considers what a research university has now become by examining the quandaries that have arisen from a succession of misplaced strategies and false expectations. Challenging both higher education policy and leadership, he argues that the focus on student number growth and a series of research policy missteps has upset research universities' priorities just at a point in the history of planetary breakdown when their research is most needed.
