Abstract
BOOK BLURB: A most stimulating collection of articles on the current state of South African higher
education and of scholarly inquiry into key issues of higher education in South
Africa, as well as in other parts of the world. There is a considerable richness of
ideas, findings, reflections and analyses which should make the book very relevant
to informing and inspiring much of the current debate about higher education
in South Africa and about priorities in further research on higher education. The
coverage of pertinent issues is broad and encompassing, if understandably not
altogether complete; it ranges from questions of policy and epistemology to matters
of curriculum, governance and professional development, and to frontiers and
agendas for further research; one would have wished for more attention to issues
of financing and of the relationship between universities and the state, especially
as regards university autonomy. While the analyses are competently cognisant
of the literature and scholarly debates in higher education internationally, they
remain focused on the particular problems of South African higher education and
its further development.
