How do nationalist tendencies play into, or counter, the global expansion of the university? This Global Perspectives review symposium engages with two timely contributions on the current state of the university in world society: Neo-nationalism and Universities: Populists, Autocrats, and the Future of Higher Education by John Aubrey Douglass (Johns Hopkins 2021) and The University and the Global Knowledge Society by David John Frank and John Mayer (Princeton 2020). An international group of leading scholars from different fields were invited to discuss some of the pressing issues that these two volumes raise.

Contributors to this review symposium include: Lisa Anderson, Katja Brøgger, Steven Brint, Vincent Carpentier, Michael D. Kennedy, Anna Kosmützky, Georg Krücke, Hannah Moscovitz, and Elaine Unterhalter.
