Аннотация
· A punchy and accessible book taking a look at the state of higher education globally · Argues that a crisis of sustainability is developing in the sector, e.g. dissatisfaction of students and staff, multiple sector strikes across continents, student protests against their institutions, etc. · Written by an internationally respected author, social critic and academic, currently Professor Emeritus at the University of Sydney, who was a founding member of the Free University movement in the 1960s · Gives myriad examples of the rich, worldwide history of alternative, experimental and reform universities and educational reformers from across the globe · Will be of particular interest to university staff, faculty, unions, students, research and policy organisations focussing on knowledge, science and education, social movements focussed on decolonising education, etc. · Goes beyond the university as ‘corporation vs. public good’ argument which is the focus of current literature (Collini, Willetts, etc.) to explicitly consider the legacy of broader forces of privilege and oppression, such as colonialism, imperialism, race, class and gender politics on the university
