Brooks, Rachel – Journal of Education Policy, 2021
Europe is, in many ways, of central importance to discussions about higher education.

Brooks, Rachel – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2021

Courtois, Aline – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2019

The article argues that rather than being a product of students' consumerist rationalities, this process is produced within the conditions of the managerialised and under-resourced university.…
