The higher education industry might seem like it’s booming, with
over 200 million students in universities and colleges worldwide
and funds flowing in like never before. But the truth is that these
institutions have never been unhappier places to work.
Corporate-style management, cost-cutting governments, mobilisations
by angry students and strikes by a disgruntled workforce have taken
their toll — in almost every country around the world. It’s no
wonder that there is talk of ‘universities in crisis.’ But what
should a ‘good university’ look like? In this inspiring new
work, Raewyn Connell asks us to consider just that, challenging us
to rethink the fundamentals of what universities do. Drawing on the
examples offered by pioneering universities and educational
reformers around the world, Connell outlines a practical vision for
how our universities can become both more engaging and more
productive places, driven by social good rather than profit,
helping to build fairer societies.
