Is there a finish line for universities? With Professor Simone Buitendijk and Dr Cheryl Hurst

University of Leeds Vice-Chancellor Professor Simone Buitendijk sits down with Dr Cheryl Hurst, a research fellow who specialises in gender and inequality, leadership and organisational change.

Recorded in March 2021, their wide-reaching conversation looks at Simone’s journey to becoming the University of Leeds’ first female Vice-Chancellor, leading the organisation during the Covid crisis, the experiences of younger academics.

They ask what is the true goal of universities - and should it be measured solely by academic output?
