But, as Professor Trowler goes on to say, “What all the chapters have in common is the rigorous and grounded approach based on evidence.” The fifteen contributed chapters are thematically divided into three sections. • Responding to Complexity: authors from Australia, Austria and the UK consider aspects of academic life as diverse as fundin...
