Episode Can Universities Survive? The Great Expansion Part 2
Today’s episode is part two of David’s conversation with political theorist Alan Finlayson about the up-and-down history of British universities since 1945, taking the story from the Blair years to the present. What changed when the ambition became to send half of all young people to university? Which old barriers came down and which new barriers came up? Where did universities fit into the new knowledge economy? And how did so many of them stumble into the crisis they face today?
