Book Launch: Knowledge Under Siege: Charting a Future for Universities

Abstract

The Archer Library & Archives and the University of Regina Press invite you to the launch of Knowledge Under Siege: Charting a Future for Universities, a new collection edited by Marc Spooner and James McNinch that analyzes today’s volatile higher education landscape-one where hostility towards the academy is a growing trend across the globe. Now more than ever, the role of the university in advancing discovery, democracy, equity, and students’ success is under siege and this incisive collection defends that role. There will be an on-campus panel event with three of the collection’s contributors, Shannon Dea, Tammy Ratt, and Whitney Blaisdell, on February 25th at the Archer Library at 12:00 PM.
