Full Description
This timely book offers a detailed, multidisciplinary view on the radical changes in higher education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapters carefully investigate how the pandemic led to massive disruption in the sector, examining the contentious politics involved, and managerial and policy changes that stemmed from this unprecedented crisis.
Dually focused on recent events and imminent futures, this insightful book addresses questions raised about the nature of post-pandemic learning, for instance interrogating digital changes and their permanency. Institutional changes are observed on three different levels: micro, meso and macro. Ultimately this book successfully recounts past events and hypothesizes potential future developments within the sector.
Building the Post-Pandemic University will be crucial for students engaging in critical university studies, education policy, digital sociology and higher education studies. It will also be of interest for university policy makers seeking to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the higher education system.
