The 2018 HER will open an international dialogue on Reinventing the Public Mission of Higher Education: Policies and Practice. The goal is to provide a platform for researchers, senior higher education policymakers, and higher education leaders who seek to expand engagement in this question and to explore and promote new solutions at local, national and international levels and sharing best practices.  

Call for Papers and Panels 

The 15th conference will open an international dialogue on Reinventing the public mission of higher education: Policies and Practice. The goal is to provide a platform for researchers, senior higher education policy makers, and higher education leaders who seek to expand engagement in these issues and to explore and promote new solutions at local, national and international levels and sharing ideas for innovative and inclusive reform practices.

The conference will provide an opportunity for comparative analysis and discussion of these and related issues with an emphasis on policies and reforms of higher education. A format has been chosen to encourage and facilitate a frank exchange in a collegial environment, in which views based on research and (comparative) policy analysis may be exchanged.

Proposals for presentations (single, dual, or multiple authorship) and panels (three to five panelists suggested) should address one of the workshop themes and issues. Proposals of up to 400 words for papers, or up to 800 words for panels, should be sent via email to:

2018HER@jhu.edu

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 15 April 2018. Submissions will be peer reviewed and the result communicated to proposers within three weeks. Early submissions are very welcome.
