Higher Education for the 21st Century
Higher Education for the 21st Century:
Dear colleague
Some time ago I wrote to you about the publication of Professor Donald Markwell’s book ‘John Maynard Keynes and International Relations: Economic Paths to War and Peace’ (Oxford University Press, London & New York, 2006). The first printing sold out very quickly but it is available again at:
http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Politics/InternationalStudies/InternationalSecurityStrategicSt/?view=usa&ci=9780198292364
or
http://www.oup.com/uk/catalogue/?ci=9780198292364
or from online booksellers.
A new book by Professor Markwell is about to be published by Australian Scholarly Publishing and Trinity College, the University of Melbourne. ‘ A large and liberal education : higher education for the 21st century’ develops a vision of higher education focussed on high quality liberal education for undergraduates in a learning community rich in both classroom and extra-curricular engagement. Maintaining an international focus, Don Markwell offers a challenging perspective on topics such as maintaining excellence in teaching and learning in higher education in an increasingly competitive environment, issues of equity and diversity, and educational philanthropy.
University of Oxford Vice-Chancellor John Hood says this book ‘provides an engaging, thoughtful and candid examination of current issues and challenges in international and Australian university education’. He adds that ‘Don’s warm reflections about his colleagues are a special highlight’.
This book is available from Trinity College, the University of Melbourne at:

or from Australian Scholarly Publishing at:

or from online booksellers.
I hope this will be of interest to you.
With kind regards
