Higher education has been presented as a solution to a host of
local and global problems, despite the fact that learning and
assessment can also be used as mechanisms for exclusion and social
control. Developing Transformative Spaces in Higher Education:
Learning to Transgress demonstrates that even when knowledge may
appear to be the solution, it can be partial and disempowering to
all but the dominant groups. The book shows the need to contest
such knowledge claims and to learn to transgress, rather than to
conform. It argues that transformative spaces need to be found and
that these should be about the creation of new opportunities, ways
of knowing and ways of being. Working in and through spaces of
transgression, the contributors to this volume develop frameworks
for the possibilities of transformative spaces in learning and
teaching in higher education. The book critiques the ways in which
Western higher education culture determines the academic agenda in
relation to dialogue on social differences, minority groups and
hierarchical structures, including issues of representation among
different groups in the population. It also explores the personal
and political costs of transgression and outlines ways in which
transitions can be transformative. The book should be of interest
to academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the
study of higher education, education studies, teacher training,
social justice and transformation. It should also be essential
reading for practitioners working in post-compulsory education.
