Leading Higher Education As and For Public Good asserts that the
purpose of higher education is twofold: for public good and as
public good. Acknowledging that the notion of public good
increasingly cannot be taken for granted, the book argues that
leading, teaching and learning must be directly connected to its
pursuit. It avers and demonstrates how this may be accomplished,
articulating specific approaches and dispositions that require
cultivation within university communities. This volume argues that
leading higher education occurs within competing and sometimes
conflicting webs of commitments, necessitating a capacity to
negotiate legitimate compromises. Its empirical chapters expand on
this, providing examples of academic developers who use deliberate
communication as a method in cultivating leading and teaching
praxis. What emerges is the potential of deliberative leadership to
be transformative in building sustainable leadership in higher
education, while simultaneously renewing commitments to education
and contributing to public good. Leading Higher Education As and
For Public Good is essential reading for policy-makers, university
leaders and administrators, academics, students and all those
interested in building a sustainable future for higher education
that also contributes to public good.
