This book calls into question the colonial and neoliberal
university, presenting alternative models of higher education that
can more effectively respond to today's intersecting social,
economic, environmental and political crises. The authors argue
that universities should be driven by a different set of core
values - one that promotes the common good over private or
commercial interests, individualism and market fundamentalism.
Presenting a broad range of educational initiatives from around the
world that reflect life-affirming regenerative and relational
practices, Indigenous intellectual sovereignty, and principles of
social and ecological justice, the authors contend that pathways
toward transforming higher education already exist within and
without the university. This task, say the authors, is urgent and
necessary if universities and other institutions are to hold
relevance in a rapidly changing global environment. This book makes
a unique contribution to critiques of the modern, neoliberal
university by looking for alternatives within and beyond
traditional institutions of higher education. In doing so, the
authors dismantle the longstanding 'ivory tower' image of the
university, instead resituating education within broader social and
ecological communities. Transforming Universities in the Midst of
Global Crisis is aimed at all those who have a direct or indirect
interest and stake in universities, from the general reader to
futurists, ecologists as well as students, academics,
administrators, managers, policy makers and politicians.
