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.
