DESCRIPTION:More than most institutions\, universities have historically 
 been defined in crucial ways by their relationship to spaces and places.
  They are typically named after\, and identified with\, the town or city
  in which they are located. They have also been important architectural 
 patrons\, and the buildings they have created tell us a great deal about
  their conception of their functions. And in their use of their own spac
 e they have consciously or unconsciously manufactured academic communiti
 es and impacted on the communities beyond their walls. Most importantly 
 today\, the tension between their global mission and their particular sp
 ecial location has come under scrutiny as governments see overseas stude
 nts as a source of longer-term net migration. \n \nThis one-day symposiu
 m seeks to consider the long and broad history of the spaces\, places an
 d communities of universities. The symposium hopes to consider questions
  including:\n- The importance of geographical locations for the developm
 ent of universities\, such as their proximity to capital cities and othe
 r institutions or their siting in out of town locations\;\n- The spaces 
 created for learning and research including libraries\, laboratories and
  museums\;\n- The communities that universities have built and how they 
 have interacted with the communities that surround them\;\n- The archite
 ctural symbolism of university architecture for the institutions and the
 ir vicinity\;\n- How history can help us understand the dilemmas facing 
 universities as they seek to develop into global institutions rooted in 
 specific locations.\n \nThe symposium will be opened with a keynote addr
 ess from Sir Peter Scott\, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education Studie
 s at the UCL Institute of Education.\n
