Overview

** Contents available at http: //wuj.cgpublisher.com/product/pub.173/prod.280 **The Journal of the World Universities Forum seek to explore the meaning and purpose of the academy in times of striking social transformation. The Journal brings together university administrators, teachers and researchers to discuss the prospects of the academy and to exemplify or imagine ways in which the university can take a leading and constructive role in the transformations of our times.Today, universities face significant challenges to their traditional position in society-contemporary knowledge systems are becoming more distributed and learning ubiquitous. Where does this leave the university - as an historically specialised and privileged place for certain kinds of knowledge and learning, as an institutionally bounded space? What do these changes mean for the mission and structures of the renewed university? What are emerging as principal areas of the academic interest?The Journal of the World Universities Forum is peer-reviewed, supported by rigorous, criterion-referenced article ranking and qualitative commentary processes, ensuring that only intellectual work of significance is published.
