The CIHE Podcast Initiative brings key thinkers and leaders in higher education worldwide to a global audience. Our aim is to present dialogue and discussion on some of the central issues of higher education. The podcast permits an informal approach and spontaneity of presentation that is not possible in an article or chapter. Our interviewees present their perspectives and arguments on a range of higher education themes. We archive the podcasts so that they will be easily available.
