Higher Education in the English-speaking World

Réflexions sur l’enseignement supérieur dans le monde anglophone
Edited by Pierre Guerlain

In 2002 the Université du Maine in Le Mans, France organized a conference on higher education ‎in English-speaking countries. Some of the participants and a few others from various universities ‎are here offering their thoughts about various aspects of higher education in Britain and the United ‎States.
‎The issues of fees and political changes in higher education figure prominently in the papers about ‎England and Wales rather than the whole of Britain. As far as the US is concerned, several articles ‎deal with the history of universities and colleges and with a particular issue such as activism or ‎feminism. Three case studies of specific institutions are presented here: Bob Jones University, ‎Stanford and Berkeley in the 60's. One paper tackles the issue of literature on US campus while ‎another one analyzes the impact of 9/11 and the right wing backlash that followed it upon ‎American institutions of higher learning.‎
