Society for Research into Higher Education

The Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) was established in 1965 to stimulate and co-ordinate research into all aspects of higher education. It seeks to improve the quality of higher education through the encouragement of debate and publication on all aspects of policy, organisation, management, curriculum, teaching and learning relating to higher education and its institutions. The Society is wholly independent and unsubsidised and is reliant for its income on subscriptions, sales of publications, conference fees and grants. It has individual and corporate members, and its membership is international. The Society publishes many books under the SRHE Open University Press imprint and also produces the journals Studies in Higher Education, Higher Education Quarterly (formerly Universities Quarterly ), Research into Higher Education Abstracts and SRHE News and International News . The Society's Annual Conference is held in December at and in collaboration with an institute of higher education, and is a major forum for academics working in this field. Additional conferences, seminars and consultations on a variety of topics are held throughout the year, and the Society also runs a number of study groups and networks for those working in particular specialist fields.

The collection also includes the papers of Professor Graeme Moodie, Dr Ernest Rudd and Professor Donald Bligh, all academics heavily involved with the SRHE.
