Project Title

For WorldViews 2019 conference on the democratization of higher education and the media

Date

Sep. 07, 2017

Duration

24 months

Description

As enrollment in higher education is estimated at 200 million worldwide and will double in a few decades, heightened public interest in how universities operate and what they offer has increased the role of the media in higher education. Concurrently, technological change has profoundly transformed the “mainstream” media and questioned the expertise of professional journalists. WorldViews 2019 global conference which will be held in Toronto in June of 2019 will investigate the interplay between higher education and the media, while exploring how the media can support more democratic access to higher education and dissemination of academic research findings.
