<span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif"></span><span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">For many generations universities have been institutions of higher education and research. Now they are expected
to contribute to local and global economies by commercializing research and spurring innovation, while addressing grand social challenges like climate mitigation and social disparities. They also must engage successfully in mass higher education and outreach
with a variety of publics. This means that universities now occupy a strategic place in re/shaping society by circulating research and knowledge through teaching and professional expertise. Meanwhile, universities have become subject to increased auditing
practices and austerity policies, locally and globally. Many universities turn to experts in branding and commodification for strategies in defining and representing their work as successful.</span></p>

the study of universities in dynamic ecologies is vital to addressing unexamined assumptions in STS about the relationship between research, teaching, and society, as well as the governance of that relationship.
