The Unbundled University: Researching emerging models in an unequal landscape. Dr Bronwen Swinnerton

This session will present research findings from a University of Leeds ESRC Newton funded research project which took place in 2016-2018 in collaboration with the University of Cape Town. The project examines the profound confluence which constitutes the unbundled university – the intersection of increasingly disaggregated curricula and services, the affordances of digital technologies, the growing marketisation of the higher education sector itself and the deep inequalities which characterise both the sector and the contexts in which they are located. This session will focus on findings from the project relating to both South Africa and the UK, including a demonstration of interactive visualisations to bring a novel perspective to the educational provision being offered using digital technology and the private companies partnering with universities in the South African and UK higher education landscapes. Recorded at the Centre for Research in Digital Education research symposium (May 2019). For more information, see: https://crde.leeds.ac.uk/
