The University in Translation: Internationalizing Higher Education by Suzy Harri

Description: The University in Translation by Suzy Harris, Professor Suzy Harris What is the purpose of the university in a globalized and internationalized world? How do we talk about higher education? How is language used in higher education? The author argues that the kind of language we use is critical to the kind of education we have, and that the instrumentalist language dominant today is deeply damaging. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In recent years interest in schools outreach and academic enrichment has increased dramatically, reflecting a greater social conscience and awareness of the impact that universities can have on the wider community. The transferable skills that academics bring to schools need to be honed for this new learning environment, as delivery methods and success benchmarks are radically different in a schools context. This collection addresses the numerous issues raised when arts and humanities academics become involved with schools, bringing together practitioners from a broad range of fields within the arts and humanities to share experiences and insights. Author Biography Suzy Harris is Professor at the School of Education, Roehampton University, UK. She is Editor of the journal, International Studies in the Sociology of Education.
