This seminar draws on extensive fieldwork within the UnbundledUni.Com project that explored the impact of digital disruption and unbundling on university education in South Africa and the UK. It discusses some key concerns around public-private partnerships in two predominantly public and highly stratified systems of higher education, and poses some bigger questions about the economic, social, and political implications of unbundling.

Refreshments will be available from 12.15pm and the seminar will start at 12.30pm. There will be time for discussion after the seminar for those who are able to stay.
