Listening to Academic Voices

Sheila Trahar, University of Bristol

BAICE is proud to present Listening to Academic Voices: International Stories of the UK Experience, an online publication resulting from a BAICE funded project led by Dr Sheila Trahar from the University of Bristol.  Listening to Academic Voices reflects the rapid changes we are experiencing in higher education.  It is a compilation of reflective writing from four international academics from different backgrounds in the UK and an editorial by Dr Trahar.
