- Summary:
- Scholars mostly of education but some from other disciplines ponder what it is to be a university in the 21st century, what the university might become, what limitations are pressing upon the university, what possibilities might lie ahead, and similar questions. Their themes are emerging future, global possibilities, ideas of the university, and a university for society. Among their topics are the future is not waiting, the trajectory and future of the idea of the university in China, toward a networked university, and intellectual commons and openness in the university.
