Knowledge and the University: Re-claiming Life - 9781138330894

The part that the university plays is increasingly of external and economic value, ignoring the importance of the value of knowledge in itself. By analyzing the university's current relationship with knowledge, this book tackles the problem head-on. It considers how the concept of knowledge can be reclaimed in an era of post truth and alternative fact, provides conceptual tools for people to think and debate about knowledge and education in new ways and offers a clear focus for the future development of academia. This fascinating book is recommended reading to anyone engaged with the idea of rethinking universities in the 21st century--
