Today’s world is fraught with perils and pandemics. Education
offers structure, stability, and hope for the future, supporting
conflict resolution, peacebuilding efforts, and scientific research
that can help prevent and mitigate both natural and manmade
disasters. With these values in mind, how can universities apply
their experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic to other emergency
situations? How can they ensure accessibility to education under
any circumstances without compromising on quality? With diverse
contributions from Afghanistan, Turkey, Lebanon, Pakistan, Kenya,
India, Saudi Arabia, and Bangladesh, Higher Education in
Emergencies: International Case Studies challenges educators to
design curriculums that focus on resilience and equip staff with
the capability to navigate future scenarios, and students with the
skills they need to someday solve them. Avoiding prescriptive
standards and advocating for programmes that address the needs of
individual campuses, chapters feature evidence-rich case studies
that identify both the gaps in addressing vulnerabilities as well
as exemplary responses that have led the way in promoting
institutional adaptability. Championing a variety of the lessons
taken from across the globe, Higher Education in Emergencies:
International Case Studies provides a critical toolkit for
preparing universities for the next pandemic, earthquake, or civil
conflict.
