Sociology of Higher Education

<p><em>The Sociology of Higher Education: Reproduction, Transformation and Change in a Global Era</em> provides an exciting and conceptually rich approach to the sociology of higher education. It offers innovative perspectives on the future of universities within the new and emerging research sub-field of the sociology of global higher education. The twenty-first century has witnessed wide-ranging structural and ideological transformations in higher education which have created both a sense of opportunity, as well as crisis and loss in the urgent debates around the legitimate roles of the university in the 21st century. The chapters represent a diverse and vibrant field, illustrating a sociological imagination and a dynamic engagement with the key challenges facing higher education, and confirming continuing inequalities through internationalisation.</p><p>This book is comprised of a broad selection of articles originally published in the <i>British Journal of Sociology of Education</i>.</p> <p>Introduction <em>Miriam David and Rajani Naidoo </em>1.
