Full Description
Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
This insightful book examines the influential role of university rankings in shaping higher education. Leading international experts analyse how rankings drive global debates on metrics, communication and standardized evaluations of institutional performance, providing a critical overview of current and future challenges for global higher education.
Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, contributing authors explore the consequences of rankings, from their impact on national policies and funding priorities to the strategic decisions of university leaders. Chapters investigate the ethical dilemmas and commercial interests underpinning the ranking industry, questioning its transparency, accountability and purpose. Contributors also rethink the role of rankings at the national, institutional and individual level and provide fresh perspectives on the broader pressures and transformations shaping higher education.
A Research Agenda for University Rankings is a valuable resource for higher education researchers, particularly those exploring the implications of rankings for universities. University leaders and policy makers will also benefit from this book's unique insights into higher education futures.
