What are the obligations of the university to society and its
communities? What are the virtues of university education? What are
the university's ethical responsibilities to its students?
The role of citizenship and civic responsibility in higher
education is a highly contested yet crucial element of any
consideration of the role of university in society.
This book offers thoughtful insights into this role, outlining the
intellectual and practical tensions and pressures which come to
bear upon higher education institutions. Wide ranging in scope, it
offers perspectives from British, European, Canadian and North
American educational environments.
Citizenship and Higher Education will prove stimulating reading
for anyone concerned with the ethics of education and the
university's place in society - including educationalists,
researchers, sociologists and policy-makers.
