Universities, Society and Development - Luescher, Thierry M.

Africa has made a crucial contribution to the emergence of the model of the developmental university through the 20th century, and the struggle for social justice, relevance and impact of the university continues, against the stifling forces of marketisation, resource constraints and unhealthy competition through rankings and elitist research-based evaluations. This book provides a critical resource for those people seeking to understand this struggle, and importantly for those at the sharp end, working on a day-to-day basis within universities and communities to forge this new relationship.
