Book Launch: Corruption and Knowledge. The role of Universities in Global Reach

The editors, Lisbet Holtedahl and Rachel Djesa Issa, will present the book

Corruption and Knowledge. The role of Universities in Global Reach

together with: Randi Rønning Balsvik, Ketil Fred Hansen.

This book aims at an informed reflection and a critical analysis of the role of universities at the center of global dynamics, through multiple voices from various milieus. The university world is often associated with independent human minds and critical thinking. However, many signs indicate another dynamic: the university world as a catalyst of enhancement of the laws and the politics favorable to the mighty actors from the financial world. Thus, universities indirectly have their foreseeable repercussions on the reproduction of inequalities. The case studies presented here come from the North and the South and encompass several domains: business, politics, education, law and health.

You will also be able to buy the book at the book launch.

This book launch is part of the celebration of Professor Lisbet Holtedahl: https://uit.no/tavla/artikkel/518614/rewinding_madame_lisbet
