Thinking about teaching in educational terms has become
increasingly difficult because of the conceptions of higher
education that predominate in both policy and public debate.
Framing the benefits of higher education simply as an economic good
poses particular difficulties for making educational sense of
teaching. Moreover, the assumptions about social mobility,
usefulness, and the economic advantages of higher education, upon
which these conceptions are based, can no longer be taken for
granted. The chapters in this book all wrestle with understandings
of education and teaching experiences in changing global, national,
and institutional contexts. They explore questions of difference
and privilege, the social transformation of teaching through
transforming teachers, contestations of global citizenship and
interculturality, learning and sensibilities of self-in-the-world,
the relationship between programme content and student
decision-making, divergent conceptions of learning in international
education, and subject-centred approaches to embodied teaching. The
book considers the value of disciplinary tools of analysis in
addressing contextual challenges in developing societies,
connections between pedagogies, autonomy and intercultural
classrooms, and ways of countering the marketization of higher
education through online teaching communities. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Teaching in Higher
Education.
