Spotlight guides

Expert guides on higher education, bringing together varied advice on the most pressing issues faced by faculty and university staff today. Our spotlights offer a deep dive into different areas of work within an academic institution and explore how best to deliver higher education in different global contexts. Drawing on Campus’s rich repository of insight from professionals at all levels of the academy, from early career researchers and lecturers to provosts and pro-vice chancellors, each spotlight provides multiple perspectives on key challenges.
