Community Engagement in Higher Education

In this chapter we examine several community engagement strategies with higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide. We begin by defining community engagement in higher education. Next, we look at several different levels of community engagement in higher education, recognizing it occurs at many levels, including international, regional, national, provincial/state, and local. We define community engagement in higher education to be sustainable networks, partnerships, communication media, and activities between HEIs and communities at local, national, regional, and international levels. Engagement activities between communities and higher education may be formal or informal. Example engagement initiatives include establishing relationships; collaboration initiatives; business ventures; co-sponsored meetings, conferences, sports events, research projects; and a thousand other activities. Vast online repositories through university libraries and other digital media provide a unique ability for HEIs to share information with communities in ways that were unimaginable prior to the 1990s. There is an inevitable and symbiotic relationship that exists between communities and HEIs. Communities help provide human resources that are necessary for higher education systems to foster and carry out their purposes. HEIs in turn train students who eventually fill job vacancies and establish businesses of

Higher Education in the BRICS Countries

This chapter seeks to analyze the complex policy struggles and institutional changes that have unfolded since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991 around repeated attempts to “reinvent” Russian higher education, with a focus on relations between the federal state, regional interests, and leading universities. This chapter is also part of a broader line of research that analyzes how and why the Russian Federation and other postsocialist nations are—or are not—aligning with the global neoliberal model of higher education and the US model of the entrepreneurial research university, as fitful as that alignment may have been since 1991. The theoretical approach adopted combines a “culturalist” critique based in history and anthropology with a “realist” critique based in critical political economy and more radical traditions in comparative education.

The Federal State, Regional Interests, and the Reinvention of Russian Universities

The system of higher education in Russia is incapable of providing the kind of skilled labor force that the economy needs in order to move beyond its current, inadequate level of development. Unless the universities educate people that employers need, Russia will lose even more skilled people through emigration.
