About us

Our work

CHET is committed to new empirical and conceptual analyses of globalised higher education’s complex economic, social and cultural dynamics. The Centre takes a panoramic view of ‘transformation’ and ‘disruption’ within higher education in terms of policy, pedagogy, and practice.

CHET advocates to advance the understanding of ‘transitional ties’ in the political economy of higher education and the challenges to the moral and ethical infrastructure and social mission of higher education institutions. CHET is committed to new knowledge and understanding of the organisation and the role and contribution of higher education in a volatile and changing world.

Lisa Lucas and Richard Watermeyer invite scholars from all over the world to engage with the Centre’s research, events and opportunities.
