Where it came from
The Social Role of Higher Education, edited by Ken Kempner and William G. Tierney, emerged during a period of intense academic scrutiny regarding the mission and efficacy of universities in the mid-1990s. Published by Routledge, the volume sought to address the shifting landscape of academia as it faced increasing pressure to justify its societal contributions amidst changing economic and political paradigms.
The work compiles scholarly perspectives aimed at examining how institutions of higher learning interface with social equity and public policy. Designed as an academic resource rather than a trade publication, the book was received as a contribution to educational sociology and remains part of Routledge's long-standing effort to curate critical discourse on the structural evolution of the global university system.
