Research Universities and the Public Good – Discovery for an Uncertain Future: Innovation and Technology in the World Economy
Autor Jason Owen–smithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 noi 2020
Countering recent arguments that we should unbundle or disrupt higher education, Jason Owen-Smith argues that research universities are valuable gems that deserve support. While they are complex and costly, their enduring value is threefold: they simultaneously act as sources of new knowledge, anchors for regional and national communities, and hubs that connect disparate parts of society. These distinctive features allow them, more than any other institution, to innovate in response to new problems and opportunities. Presenting numerous case studies that show how research universities play these three roles and why they matter, this book offers a fresh and stirring defense of the research university.
