Elizabeth Buckner, "Degrees of Dignity: Arab Higher Education in the Global Era"
English | ISBN: 1487528949 | 2021 | 264 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Presenting an analysis of higher education in eight countries in the Arab Middle East and North Africa, Degrees of Dignity works to dismantle narratives of crisis and assert approaches to institutional reform. Drawing on policy documents, media narratives, interviews, and personal experiences, Elizabeth Buckner explores how apolitical external reform models become contested and modified by local actors in ways that are simultaneously complicated, surprising, and even inspiring.
