Originally published in 1996 The Social Role of Higher Education is an anthology of nine papers, it presents cases studies showing how culture influences the social role of higher education in various nations. It examines how environments get defined and how they shape universities, and how knowledge and academic work interact in national contexts. This book focuses on how both developed and developing countries' systems of higher education are affected by their own culture and their place within the larger global context.

Ken Kempner is Professor Emeritus, Department of Social Sciences, Policy, and Culture, Southern Oregon University. Ken does research in Educational Policy, Educational Leadership and Comparative Education.
