Building the Post-Pandemic University Imagining, Contesting and Materializing Higher Education Futures Edited by Mark A. Carrigan, University of Manchester, UK, Hannah Moscovitz, Aarhus University, Denmark, Michele Martini, University of Lugano, Switzerland and Susan L. Robertson, University of Cambridge, UK ‘This book is as important as it is timely. For higher education sectors to move forwards – and take their workforces along with them - the contours and legacies of the pandemic need to be much better understood. The contributors to this sensitively curated volume bring insight and evidence about what really happened to higher learning during Covid. The collection is more than the sum of its chapters; it goes beyond critique to offer a shared blueprint for what might come next. The neoliberal university embraces individualism and entrepreneurialism in the name of competition; this collection prompts us to advocate for a new settlement based on fairer and more humane values.’ – Steven Jones, University of Manchester, UK Jul 2023 360 pp Hardback 978 1 80220 456 8 £110.00 / $160.00 eBook • Elgaronline Research Handbook on the Transformation of Higher Education Edited by Liudvika Leišytė, Technical University Dortmund, Germany, Jay R.

The book delightfully captures how these innovations had to be learned by store owners, sold to customers, and created new and unforeseen opportunities. We now take these innovations for granted but as the authors suggest, they continue in the digital age to evolve in startling ways.’ – Neil D.
