Higher Education Governance & Institutional Management
We are pleased to announce the official Call for Chapters for Volume 2 of the Encyclopedia of Higher Education. This volume focuses on Higher Education Governance and Institutional Management. This volume forms part of a 13-volume global reference project, led by Dr. Mustafa Kayyali, Editor-in-Chief and renowned scholar in higher education policy and internationalization.
We are a contributing partner to this ambitious academic project. We invite education leaders, policy scholars, and institutional researchers. They can submit chapters. The chapters should critically examine how universities are governed, managed, and transformed across different global contexts.
