Acknowledging the centrality that impact has gained in the strategic visions of our universities, as well as the hype and ambiguities surrounding the notion of societal impact, we invite scholars to enter into a debate about societal impact, based on their own experiences and insights.
The kickoff keynote will be delivered by professor Davarian Baldwin, author of In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower. How Universities Are Plundering Our Cities (2021). Baldwin will discuss his influential work, (historically) tracing the complex relations between universities and urban development. |
