Research
LH Martin Institute research activities aim to contribute to the improvement of professional practice in tertiary education management and leadership. Tertiary education institutions have undergone a period of profound change over the last ten to fifteen years, which has had a major impact on the way that they are governed and managed, and it is clear that these changes are far from over. External demands from a variety of stakeholders continue to increase, policy environments, nationally as well as internationally, change on an almost continuous basis, and we are only beginning to understand the impacts of the evolution into knowledge-based societies. Our research activities will be geared to better prepare institutional leaders, both academic and professional, at the executive and middle-level to intellectually engage with this dynamic environment.
Our staff have engaged in tertiary education research for a number of years and have addressed a wide range of topics. An overview of their work is provided under the four thematic areas below.
