Summary:

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This innovative Research Agenda critically reflects on the state of the art and offers inspiration for future higher education research across a variety of geographical, disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. It explores the impact of Covid-19, and the need to re-engage with the Global South and reconsider conventional paradigms and assumptions. Leading international contributors address a set of salient issues, ranging from research on macro-level themes to meso and micro-level phenomena. Chapters examine the changing patterns in globalization, Europeanization, challenges to mobility and open systems, and trends in system governance, funding, and quality assurance. Organizational change, research performance, university networks, curriculum improvement and global citizenship are also analysed. This forward-thinking Research Agenda aims to reach beyond the Western perspective on higher education and will be an insightful read for both seasoned scholars and newcomers with an interest in higher education policy and research in a changing global context.
