Product Description

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.
