What Happened to the Soviet University?
A Book Presentation
By Maia Chankseliani
Chair: Nutsa Kobakhidze
Abstract
This talk explores how one of the largest geopolitical changes of the twentieth century triggered and inspired the reconfiguration of the Soviet university. These universities have survived chaotic processes of post-Soviet transformation and have self-stabilised with time. Most of them remain flagship institutions with large numbers of students and relatively high research productivity. Yet, as the talk illustrates, the majority of these universities operate in a top-down, one-man management environment with limited institutional autonomy and academic freedom.
Maia Chankseliani is an Associate Professor of Comparative and International Education and Fellow at St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford.
Nutsa Kobakhidze is the director of the Comparative Education Research Centre (CERC) & Assistant Professor in Comparative and International Education at the University of Hong Kong
