Landes, Xavier; Marchman, Martin; Nielsen, Morten – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2012
The social benefits expected from academia are generally identified as belonging to three broad categories: research, education and contribution to society in general.

Davis, Dana-Ain – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2011
Neoliberal values and ideology, which have broadly undermined social justice ideals, have been inserted into a range of public spheres both in the U.S.A. and internationally.

Gorry, Jonathan – Learning and Teaching: The International Journal of Higher Education in the Social Sciences, 2011
A wide variety of British universities are expanding efforts to attract international students.

Here I set to conceptualise possible differences in the learning culture of…
