| Notes | "Few institutions in modern society are as significant as universities; and yet our historical and sociological understanding of the role of higher education has not been substantially updated for decades. Revisiting the emergence and transformation of higher education since 1800 using a novel processual approach, this book recognises these developments as having been as central as the industrial and democratic revolutions in constituting the modern world. This new interpretation of the role of universities in contemporary society promises to re-orient our understanding of the importance of higher education in the past and future development of modern societies. It will therefore appeal to scholars of social science and history with interests in social history and social change, education, the professions and inequalities"-- Provided by publisher Eric Lybeck is Presidential Fellow at the University of Manchester, UK, and co-editor of Sociological Amnesia: Cross Currents in Disciplinary History.
