Reexamining the research university

What does new historical research reveal about higher education's potential for transformation?

This week we'll explore the question with Emily J. Levine, Associate Professor of Education and (by courtesy) History at Stanford, author of the new book Allies and Rivals: German-American Exchange and the Rise of the Modern Research University. Recently she has published "Can Universities Defy the New Nationalism?", "It’s time for an overhaul of academic freedom," "Why the ‘Academic Social Contract’ Is Breaking," and "10 Forgotten Leaders in Higher Education." She was also interviewed by the Central European University's Review of Democracy.

The Future Trends Forum is a weekly discussion event created and hosted by Bryan Alexander. Since 2016 we have addressed the most powerful forces of change in academia. Each week, this video chat brings together practitioners in the field to share their most recent work and experience in education and technology. The intent of the Forum: to advance the discussion around the pressing issues at the crossroads of education and technology.

This event is powered by Shindig, the video chat event provider. On Shindig, audiences all can see one another and engage in private video chats sharing and discussing the content of the presentation. Event hosts may also bring selected audience members to the stage to ask questions or otherwise interact with guest speakers. Shindig; the dynamics of in person events, online.
