SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Connell asks us to consider what a good university looks like, challenging us to rethink the fundamentals of what universities do. Drawing on the examples offered by pioneering universities and educational reformers around the world, the author outlines a practical vision for how our universities can become both more engaging and more productive places, driven by social good rather than profit, helping to build fairer societies.--From publisher description.
