'At a time when the narratives on African higher education seemed to be approaching a cul-de-sac, this book, edited by the versatile higher education scholar Damtew Teferra, opens new ways of understanding recent developments in the African higher education landscape. A must-read for scholars, policy actors and all those interested in the most recent trends and dynamics in African higher education.' - Tade Akin Aina, Senior Program Director, Higher Education and Research in Africa Program, Carnegie Corporation of New York, USA 'By dissecting all the pertinent issues related to promoting research and innovation in higher education in Africa, this book sheds light on not only the challenges but also on possible solutions and prospects. It is a book that should be widely used not only by researchers on higher education in Africa, but equally by African higher education policy makers and leaders.' - Goolam Mohamedbhai, Former Secretary-General, Association of African Universities and Former Vice-Chancellor, University of Mauritius. 'This book is an impressively curated and authoritative set of contributions from leading experts on the continent's higher education and research systems. The future of African knowledge-making rests on the shoulders of doctoral researchers, and this book highlights the importance of transformative and impactful graduate education. From infrastructures to internationalisation, from innovation to integrity, Teferra and colleagues set out a detailed agenda for university reform and transformation.' - David Mills, Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Global Higher Education (CGHE), University of Oxford, UK This edited book examines the advancement of research and innovation in African higher education. Addressing a wide array of thematic issues such as graduate education, research collaboration, the role of the diaspora, open science and research integrity, the book provides rich perspectives by leading academics and experts. The book will appeal to graduate students and scholars interested in higher education in Africa, as well as university staff, NGOs and policymakers. Damtew Teferra is Professor of Higher Education at University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
