4.9/5 (23665 ratings)

Description:This book calls into question the colonial and neoliberal university, presenting alternative models of higher education that can more effectively respond to today's intersecting social, economic, environmental and political crises. The authors argue that universities should be driven by a different set of core values - one that promotes the common good over private or commercial interests, individualism and market fundamentalism. Presenting a broad range of educational initiatives form around the world that reflect life-affirming regenerative and relational practices, Indigenous intellectual sovereignty, and principles of social and ecological justice, the authors contend that pathways toward transforming higher education already exist within and without the university. This task, say the authors, is urgent and necessary if universities and other institutions are to hold relevance in a rapidly changing global environment.This book makes a unique contribution to critiques of the modern, neoliberal university by looking for alternatives within and beyond traditional institutions of higher education. In doing so, the authors dismantle the longstanding ivory tower image of the university, instead resituating education within broader social and ecological communities.Transforming Universities in the Midst of Global Crisis is aimed at all those who have a direct and indirect interest and stake in universities: from the general reader to futurists, ecologists as well as students, academics, administrators, managers, policy makers and politicians.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
