The positive contribution of tertiary education is increasingly recognized as not limited to middle-income and advanced countries, since it applies equally to low-income economies. Tertiary education can help countries become more globally competitive by developing a skilled, productive, and flexible labor force and by creating, applying, and spreading new ideas and technologies. Research universities are reckoned among the central institutions of the 21st century knowledge economies. This book extends the analysis of the framework presented in The Challenge of Establishing World-Class Universities (Salmi 2009) and by examining the recent experience of 11 universities in nine countries that have grappled with the challenges of building successful research institutions in difficult circumstances and learning from the lessons of these experiences.

Throughout Spain's tumultuous twentieth century, women writers produced a dazzling variety of novels, popular theater, and poetry. Their work both reflected and helped to transform women's gender, family, and public roles, carving out new space in the literary canon. This multilingual collection of essays by both scholars and creative artists explores the diversity of Spanish women's writing, both celebrated and forgotten. Contributors: Nicole Altamirano, Marta E. Altisent, Emilie L. Bergmann, Alda Blanco, Sara Brenneis, Kathleen M. Glenn, P. Louise Johnson, Jo Labanyi, Geraldine Cleary Nichols, Pilar Nieva de la Paz, Soledad Puértolas, Clara Sánchez

El acceso a la justicia y a las problemáticas que la rodean no deja de ser un hecho pertinente ante la realidad del país. Son múltiples las barreras existentes no solo para acceder al aparato judicial, sino también para garantizar el correcto ejercicio de los derechos humanos. Por lo anterior, la Universidad del Rosario, en cabeza del Observatorio Legislativo y del Grupo de Investigación en Derechos Humanos, en asociación con la Fundación Hanns Seidel, culminó con éxito la décima versión del Concurso Nacional de Semilleros de Investigación titulado “Diálogos interdisciplinarios sobre los problemas de la justicia en Colombia”, el cual, por primera vez en la historia, se realizó de manera virtual, dadas las circunstancias generadas por la pandemia COVID-19. El cierre del evento fue aún más contundente con la publicación de este libro, que contiene las ponencias de los estudiantes ganadores. En esta oportunidad, el objetivo del concurso fue brindar un espacio propicio de investigación, generación de conocimiento y fortalecimiento de habilidades para los estudiantes interesados en reflexionar en torno al acceso a la justicia y sus barreras desde diferentes frentes: estructura institucional; grupos de especial protección constitucional; eficacia, eficiencia y transparencia; métodos alternativos en resolución de conflictos; justicia diferencial; justicia en los territorios; jurisdicciones especiales y justicia digital.

"The Dream Is Over tells the extraordinary story of the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education in California, created by visionary University of California President Clark Kerr and his contemporaries. The Master Plan's equality of opportunity policy brought college within reach of millions of American families for the first time and fashioned the world's leading system of public research universities. The California idea became the leading model for higher education across the world and has had great influence in the rapid growth of universities in China and East Asia. Yet remarkably, the political conditions supporting the California idea in California itself have evaporated. Universal access is faltering, public tuition is rising, the great research universities are under growing pressure, and educational participation in California, once the national leader, lags way behind. Can the social values embodied in Kerr's vision be renewed?"--Provided by publisher.

"Rutgers University's Douglass Residential College is the only college for women that is nested within a major research university in the United States. Although the number of women's colleges has plummeted from a high of 268 in 1960 to 38 in 2016, Douglass is flourishing as it approaches its centennial in 2018. To explore its rich history, Kayo Denda, Mary Hawkesworth, Fernanda H. Perrone examine the strategic transformation of Douglass over the past century in relation to continuing debates about women's higher education. The Douglass Century celebrates the college's longevity and diversity as distinctive accomplishments, and analyzes the contributions of Douglass administrators, alumnae, and students to its survival, while also investigating multiple challenges that threatened its existence. This book demonstrates how changing historical circumstances altered the possibilities for women and the content of higher education, comparing the Jazz Age, American the Great Depression, the Second World War, the post-war Civil Rights era, and the resurgence of feminism in the 1970s and 1980s. Concluding in the present day, the authors highlight the college's ongoing commitment to Mabel Smith Douglass' founding vision, "to bring about an intellectual quickening, a cultural broadening in connection with specific training so that women may go out into the world fitted...for leadership...in the economic, political, and intellectual life of this nation." In addition to providing a comprehensive history of the college, the book brings its subjects to life with eighty full-color images from the Special Collections and University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries"-- "Rutgers University's Douglass Residential College is the only college for women that is nested within a major research university in the United States.
