Event Details
After decades of neoliberal change leading to universities experiencing funding cuts and adopting corporate approaches that see teaching, learning, and research monetised for profit, where does this leave staff and students as we continue through the twenty-first century?
This presentation examines who gets to succeed in this performance driven era, and who is left to struggle for survival in a sector that prides itself on diversity and inclusion, but is far from an equitable or merit-driven learning and research space.
Speaker
Institute of Education, University of Manchester
Dr Troy Heffernan is a Senior Lecturer and Fulbright Scholar at the University of Manchester's Institute of Education. His research examines higher education administration and policy with a particular focus on investigating the inequities that persist in the sector.
