Generational Encounters with Higher Education (eBook, ePUB)

The Academic-Student Relationship and the University Experience

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The 21st century has witnessed significant changes to the structures and policies framing Higher Education. But how do these changes in norms, values, and purpose shape the generation now coming of age? Employing a generational analysis, this book offers an original approach to the study of education. It explores the qualitative dimensions of the relationship between academics and students, and examines wider issues of culture and socialisation, from tuition fees and student mental health, to social mobility and employment. This is a timely contribution to current debates about the University and an invaluable resource for those interested in education, youth, and intergenerational relations.
