University Futures: A public discussion.
Organised by the University of East London, the Campaign for Social Sciences
and Times Higher Education
Bloomsbury Suite, Friends' House, 173 Euston Road, London NW1 2BY
Tuesday October 11, 1.30-5.00pm
What is a university for? Should we ensure that all those able to benefit
from university education get the opportunity to attend, and if so, how? How
should society pay for universities?
Higher education in the UK is going through a series of controversial
changes, which have particularly strong implications for humanities and
social sciences. More generally, there is increasing debate about the future
role of universities and other higher education institutions in the UK and
internationally.
University Futures, a public discussion event to mark the start of the new
academic year, brings together influential academics, policymakers and
activists in the HE field to address these questions.
Speakers: Stephen Anderson, Campaign for Social Science; Liam Burns,
President, National Union of Students; Caroline Gipps, ex-VC, Wolverhampton
University; John Holmwood, Campaign for the Public University; Terri Kim,
Brunel University; Carl Lygo, BPP; Derek Robbins, UEL; Faiza Shaheen, New
Economics Foundation; Mike Rustin, UEL and Peter Scott, Institute of
Education
With Gavin Poynter and Corinne Squire, UEL, and Ann Mroz, Times Higher
Education.
