Publisher's Synopsis
The Research Handbook on the Transformation of Higher Education captures the complexities and paradoxes associated with higher education transformation. Drawing upon current empirical and theoretical scholarship, it identifies the drivers, actors, developments and outcomes of transformational processes within the field.
Providing a multi-level outlook on higher education transformation, this timely Research Handbook identifies key aspects and methods of transformational change that leaders can apply to their own institutions. Through detailed analysis of the technological, socio-political and market forces that are currently transforming universities and colleges, chapters portray change within higher education as responsive to global academic challenges such as structural inequality, reductions in state funding and the pandemic-accelerated pace of digitalisation.
Illustrating the scope, process and pace of higher education transformation, this comprehensive Research Handbook will be a valuable resource for academics and doctoral scholars studying educational policy, public administration and organization studies. Higher education administrators and those in leadership positions within colleges and universities will additionally find it to be an enlightening read.
