This collection of essays provides a timely analysis of the current
state and potential future of higher education and its subsequent
impact on society. The multinational and multidisciplinary
contributors analyze the variety of professional, intellectual,
social and political factors that govern our individual and
collective behavior, and how these forces undermine society's
traditional goals for higher education: critical and intellectual
development, and civic engagement. These historical
democratic-social values are coming to be replaced with those of
production and consumption in service to the global economy. The
competing and contradictory demands placed upon higher education
are often at odds with the traditional notions of liberal education
that persist as performative facade, an idealization of the academy
existing primarily in the lore, rituals, and mission statements of
most colleges and universities, but not always in the outcomes
faculty are expected to produce.
