But what is Higher Education? It is more than just finding out how to obtain a Ph.D. or writing one's thesis. It is about examining communities, looking at education in different cultures, and finding out how we use education differently across the world.
Palgrave Macmillan is celebrating and recognizing those that are bringing knowledge about why Higher Education is so important in the 21st century. We're delighted to have a number of our authors write original material for this recognition of Higher Education. We hope to give you an inside look from these acclaimed scholars themselves about why they research and are passionate about Higher Education.
