Brown-bag lunch: University expansion, elite formation and stratification of the higher education system in Germany

Higher education expansion, elite formation and stratification of the higher education system in Germany

Speaker: Professor Dr. Manfred Stock (Institute of Sociology, Martin Luther University Halle Wittenberg, Halle)

According to a now classic study by Martin Trow, the expansion of higher education is accompanied by a vertical differentiation between institutions of academic excellence and those of academic breadth. The lecture deals with the question of whether and in what respects this also applies to Germany.
