‘Providing a multi-level outlook on higher education transformation, The Research Handbook on the Transformation of Higher Education is timely and useful as it identifies key aspects and methods of transformational change that leaders can apply to their own institutions. Through detailed analysis of the technological, socio-political and market forces that are currently transforming universities and colleges, chapters portray change within higher education as responsive to global academic challenges such as structural inequality, reductions in state funding and the pandemic-accelerated pace of digitalisation.’
