This week I attended a World Affairs council lecture titled Academic Globalization- How International Universities are Reshaping the World. Author Ben Wildavsky, former Education Editor for US News & World Report and currently a fellow at the Ewing Marion Kaufmann Foundation, discussed his recent book titled, The Great Brain Race, How Global Universities are Reshaping the World.
The focus of the discussion was around the increasing globalization of higher education. Wildavsky focused on three themes:
- Unprecedented Academic Mobility
- Race to create world-class universities
- Emergence of global college rankings (more…)
