The articles of this book speak for a large diversity of the ways in which a cultural perspective is understood and utilized in higher education studies. A cultural perspective does not form a single, uniform theoretical and methodological framework, but allows various starting points. Likewise, the topics covered in the articles vary substantially, ranging from a particular student culture and the construction of specific academic identities to recent large-scale reforms tied to doctoral education and the Bologna Process.
