Speaker: Prof Tristan McCowan Panel: Dr Emilie Souyri (Université Côte d'Azur); Alex Wright (Association of Commonwealth Universities); Dr Laila Kadiwal (UCL) and Dr Stuart Tannock (UCL) Chair: Prof Elaine Unterhalter (UCL) Prof Tristan McCowan launches his book ‘Higher education for and beyond the Sustainable Development Goals’ (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019), followed by responses from the panel. The book analyses the role of the university in working towards the Sustainable Development Goals. Higher education is seen to have a crucial role in this new agenda. Yet how can the university fulfil these weighty expectations, and are the dominant trends in higher education supporting or undermining this vision? Drawing on the idea of the ‘developmental university’, McCowan examines case studies from around the world to analyse how this model can be revived, countering recent trends of marketisation, status competition and unbundling. It also considers alternatives to the developmental model.
