This book brings together leading intellectuals from Britain and the USA to examine what is happening in higher education.

They explore the whether it is usefull to affix the label "postmodern" to the contemporary university. Inhalt: Smith, Anthony/Webster, Frank: Changing Ideas of the University. - PART 1.
