This book asks what it means to live in a higher educational world
continuously tempered by catastrophe. Many of the resources for
response and resistance to catastrophe have long been identified by
thinkers ranging from Ralph Waldo Emerson and William James to H.
G. Wells and Emanuel Haldeman-Julius. Di Leo posits that hope and
resistance are possible if we are willing to resist a form of
pessimism that already appears to be drawing us into its arms.
Catastrophe and Higher Education argues that the future of the
humanities is tied to the fate of theory as a form of resistance to
neoliberalism in higher education. It also offers that the fate of
the academy may very well be in the hands of humanities scholars
who are tasked with either rejecting theory and philosophy in times
of catastrophe-or embracing it.
