Stefan Collini: What Is The Point Of Universities?

He's widely regarded as one of the finest essayists in Britain, and what's more he can be one of the funniest. Stefan Collini, professor at Cambridge University, has now turned his attention to the education system, and its purpose. In this event (and a new book, What Are Universities For?) he argues that we must completely rethink the way we see our universities, and why we need them.
