World Issues in the Philosophy and Theory of Higher Education

This series addresses key themes within the area of philosophy and social theory of higher education. International in both appeal and scope, it uses cutting-edge research to inform an understanding of both the place of higher education in the world and the many challenges that the world is facing. Volumes examine policy and practical issues including, for example, internationalisation, institutional leadership, and learning in the digital era as well as more conceptual and theoretical issues such as ethics, wellbeing, the societal value and impact of research, higher education as a set of ‘public goods’ and what it is to design a university in a globalised world. Written by leading experts in the field, the books within this series have four key aims:

• to encourage and influence discussions around higher education futures, and to engage with political, social, and cultural differences and tensions
• to provide a platform for new work in the developing field of the philosophy and social theory of higher education
• to reach out widely - to all those in and around higher education, at all levels in the system and beyond (for example in policy networks)
  
• to encourage the growth of the field
