Full title :Understanding the university : institution, idea, possibilities / Ron Barnett.

Summary

Understanding the University constitutes the final volume in a trilogy -- the first two books having been Being a University (2010) and Imagining the University (2012) -- and represents the trilogy's ultimate aims and endeavors. The three volumes together offer a unique attempt at a fairly systematic and exhaustive level to map out just what it might be seriously to understand the extraordinarily complex entity that is known across the world as 'the university'. Through examination of the conditions and possibilities underlying and affecting universities, this work offers an understanding of specific ideas of the university which can inform policies, strategies and practices in relation to the university. This book is a must read for leaders and senior managers in universities, as well as those undertaking postgraduate studies in the policy and practice of higher education. -- Provided by publisher.
