A Call for Greater Research and Knowledge Sharing on the role of Higher Education in Post-conflict Recovery
Document Library
October 20, 2015

This essay highlights the role of higher education in post-conflict recovery. It notes that higher education in post-conflict recovery, while arguably a major resource that can contribute to post-conflict reconstruction, statebuilding, peacebuilding, and related fields, remains largely under-studied in academic literature. However,  over the past decade there has been increasingly greater global recognition at the level… Read more

Is There A Universal Right To Higher Education?
Document Library
October 20, 2015

Opposition to university fees is often framed as a defence of higher education as a ‘right’ rather than a ‘privilege’. However, the basis and nature of this right is unclear.

Higher Education and Public Good
Document Library
October 20, 2015

Policy debate about whether to maintain public subsidies for higher education has stimulated reconsideration of the public mission of higher education institutions, especially those that provide student places conferring private benefits. If the work of higher education institutions is defined simply as the aggregation of private interests, this evaporates the rationale for higher education institutions… Read more

The Origins of Writing in the Disciplines: Traditions of Seminar Writing and the Humboldtian Ideal of the Research University
Document Library

On the Aristotelian origins of higher education
Document Library
October 20, 2015

The story of how the sciences began to understand themselves as independent fields of research starts by detaching them from philosophy. The identity of the science in question will then further develop as it writes its own history. Higher education studies are, in such reflections, understood as a relatively new field that has its beginnings… Read more

Rebuilding Knowledge: Opportunities and Risks for Higher Education in Post-Conflict Regions
Document Library
October 19, 2015

The transition from violence and instability to peace and prosperity is rarely linear, but rather defined more by its complexity and the alignment of often-surprising conditions. The rebuilding and reorganisation of the higher education sector, in particular, is increasingly being recognized as both a driver and a consequence of this complex transition, which is marked… Read more
