L’Enseignement supérieur aux états-Unis : l’exemple de Clark Kerr et de l’université ou multiversité de Berkeley en 1964 Higher Education in the United States: Clark Kerr and the University or Multiversity of California Berkeley in 1964DOI: 10.4000/lisa.3081 Keywords: université de Californie , contestation étudiante , usine du savoir , multiversité , university of California , student protest , multiversity , knowledge factory , sixties , XXe siècle , 20th century , société , états-Unis , society , United States , culture , histoire , history , éducation Abstract: Higher education in the United States went through a real revolution in the 1960s. In 1964, UC Berkeley, run by President Clark Kerr, and defined as a “multiversity” by its fierce opponents, was a case in point. Indeed, at that time, the American higher educational system was really called into question by a growing number of students. What is Kerr’s own definition of the “multiversity”? To what extent was the “multiversity” or “knowledge industry” different from a traditional university? Was student protest therefore well-grounded? Can we not say that the “multiversity” actually gives a drastically new image of what American higher education is all about?
