By re-examining the emergence and transformation of higher education since 1800 through a novel processual approach, this book recognizes these developments as being as pivotal to constituting the modern world as the industrial and democratic revolutions. This fresh interpretation of the role of universities in contemporary society holds the promise of re-orienting our understanding of the importance of higher education in shaping the past and future development of modern societies. Consequently, it will appeal to scholars of social science and history with a keen interest in social history, social change, education, the professions, and inequalities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, accessible at http:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com\/books\/e\/9781351017558, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUniversities, as pillars of contemporary society, have undergone profound transformations since their inception in the 18th century. This book employs a novel processual approach to revisit these developments, recognizing their centrality to shaping the modern world alongside the industrial and democratic revolutions. By undertaking this re-examination, the book aims to redefine our understanding of the role of universities in contemporary society, offering a fresh perspective that promises to re-orient our perceptions of their significance in the past and future development of modern societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars of social science and history with a keen interest in social history, social change, education, the professions, and inequalities.
