Considering why science is so deeply linked to (higher) educational development, the book charts the accumulation of capacity to produce research—and demonstrates how the university facilitates the emerging knowledge society. The age of global mega-science was built on the symbiotic relationship between higher education and science, especially the worldwide research collaborations among networked university-based scientists. These relationships are key for scholars and citizens to understand the past, future, and sustainability of science. David P. Baker is Professor of Sociology, Education, and Demography at Pennsylvania State University and the 2023-24 George Sarton Chair for the History of Science at Ghent University, Belgium. Justin J.W. Powell is Professor of Sociology of Education at the University of Luxembourg and a Co-PI of the Q-KNOW project.
