SRHE Higher Educational Policy Network Monday 19th March, 4-6.30pm, Room GC1-08, London Metropolitan University Changing Expectations of Universities and the Role of the State: A Historical and Contemporary Analysis This seminar will explore changing expectations of universities through two different but complementary papers. Questions of the relationship between universities and society as well as issues of governance, purpose, participation and equality are raised. Andrew M Boggs, University of Oxford Changing Concepts of 'The University' and Oxford's Governance Debates, 1850s-2000s This paper offers a historical exploration of changing ideas of the university and wider higher education policy debates through an analysis of the University of Oxford's governance structures over a 150 year period. It offers a narrative of wider changes in the relationship between the university and society over this period. . Professor Penny Jane Burke, Roehampton University Examining the im/possibilities of widening participation This paper moves the focus on to the present where the relationship between universities and the state is undergoing a new period of change and uncertainty. The paper explores possibilities for maintaining a commitment to social justice, equality and widening participation in a policy context characterised by increased marketisation and competitiveness.
