The 21st century has witnessed significant changes to the structures and
policies framing Higher Education. But how do these changes in norms,
values, and purpose shape the generation now coming of age? Employing a
generational analysis, this book offers an original approach to the
study of education. It explores the qualitative dimensions of the
relationship between academics and students, and examines wider issues
of culture and socialisation, from tuition fees and student mental
health, to social mobility and employment. This is a timely contribution
to current debates about the University and an invaluable resource for
those interested in education, youth, and intergenerational relations.
