Transformation Of The University: Hopeful Futures For Higher Education - 9780367558109

Transformation of the University imagines preferable futures for the University, building hope for the institution's necessary transformation. It transcends old criticism and presents fresh ideas on how the institution might be conceived, organized, and put into practice while safeguarding that which makes it a university - the pursuit of knowledge. This book is divided into three main parts: Part One - 'Knowledge' assumes the role of the University in generating knowledge for the benefit of society; Part Two - 'Cultural Growth' expands on how the University might contribute to and benefit from the cultural growth of society, with both explicit and implicit connections to social justice; and Part Three - 'Institutions' focuses on imaginative processes for enacting a University as an institution that meets the unforeseen challenges facing society. With contributions from scholars across the world, Transformation of the University is an essential read for all academics, practitioners, and broad social thinkers who are concerned with the future of the University and its contributions to society.
