The "theory-practice" gap, or whatever you want to call it, has always been a central concern regarding the relationship between the activity of higher education and the real-world.

She left higher education, however, in favour of a career in the corporate world. In Episode 3 of Anarchy in the H.E., Shubhra talks about her journey in and out of H.E., and what academia can learn form the cut-throat, fast-moving corporate world of industry.
