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 from 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.
