This book innovatively explores how universities might be
engines of reform and be directed towards social change. Using rich
case studies drawn from South African research, the book
comprehensively provides a myriad of new perspectives on what
constitutes a set of appropriate public-good professional
capabilities that will translate successfully into contributions to
human development. It challenges universities to produce
professionals who have the knowledge, skills and values to improve
the lives of people living in poverty in urban and rural settings.
It covers issues such as:
- Conceptualising Public-Good Professionalism
- Global Issues and Professional Education
- South African Debates about Higher Education
- Institutional conditions and professional education
arrangements
- Social Constraints on educating ethically aware public
professionals
By drawing on an approach that focuses on differing public-good
professional capabilities in five professions, this book produces a
crucial new framework for the preparation of professionals relevant
to the global study of higher education policy. It expands higher
education s contribution to global social justice beyond a concern
with human capital, administering a challenge to higher education
internationally to address human development in the 21st
century.
This book will be of great interest to all scholars of higher
education involved in higher education studies, comparative
education, and development studies. It will also prove valuable to
policy makers, higher education leaders and lecturers and graduate
professionals in diverse organizations.
