This book investigates origins, meanings, uses and effects of
student engagement in higher education, and addresses three core
questions: (1) Why is student engagement so visible in higher
education today? (2) What are its dominant characteristics? (3)
What is missing in the popular view of student engagement? These
questions pave the way for a fresh approach to student engagement.
The book argues that an elective affinity between student
engagement and policies embedded in neoliberalism, the dominant
ideology of the early 21st century, enables student engagement to
transcend diverse intellectual and practice contexts. This affinity
encourages quality learning and teaching that enables student to
succeed in their studies and future careers. The book shows that
focusing on neoliberal objectives for learning and teaching limits
the potential of student engagement in higher education. This
conclusion leads to a critical and practical social-ecological
perspective that approaches engagement more as a pathway to social
justice than as a list of techniques. This book is a work of
critical scholarship backed by empirical research. It questions
accepted theories and practices and offers fresh insights into
student engagement in higher education, including how engagement
could promote social justice.
