This event was in two parts. A viewing
of extracts from the Fred Wiseman film, At Berkeley, and a discussion, led by Professor Sir Peter Scott
(Institute of Education at UCL). Arranged by the new
"Research Centre for
Social Change and Transformation in Higher Education" Birkbeck - University of London, Friday, February 27, London

Social change and transformation – are these themes still at

1.
Learn to love Mass Higher Education
2.
Engage in discussions about public funding and
public universities
3.

does not solve the problem of necessary equity and excellence
Maybe it is not
a question of what IS a university – but of how do we perceive it.
Sorry about the quality of the scans.
