CSHE Webinar 5: Vertical differentiation in higher education

Webinar Title: Vertical differentiation in higher education: Global Engagement, Global universities and Organisational capacity. Presenter: Professor Tatiana Fumasoli Professor in Higher Education Studies, UCL Institute of Education. Abstract: Global engagement can be considered a key trend in higher education, a transition from more traditional practices of internationalisation to transformational change in university core activities. This presentation conceptualises global engagement as institutional redesign to impact society at local, national and global levels. This entails strategic organisational capacity to plan, carry out organisational development and allocate resources effectively. In parallel, global engagement is critiqued, pointing to how it increasingly divides so-called “world-class” universities from the rest of higher education institutions and highlighting the implications thereof. This session is part of the UCD Centre for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE) webinar series 2023 https://www.ucd.ie/cshe/
