World Class Universities: A Contested Concept

World Class Universities: A Contested Concept by Sharon Rider
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 287 Pages | ISBN : 9811575975 | 6.6 MB

This book focuses on the dimensions of the discourse of 'The World Class University', its alleged characteristics, and its policy expressions. It offers a broad overview of the historical background and current trajectory of the world-class-university construct. It also deepens the theoretical discussion, and points a way forward out of present impasses resulting from the pervasive use and abuse of the notion of "world-class" and related terms in the discourse of quality assessment. The book includes approaches and results from fields of inquiry not otherwise prominent in Higher Education studies, including philosophy and media studies, as well as sociology, anthropology, educational theory.

Envisioning Education in a Post-Work Leisure-Based Society: A Dialogical Approach

Envisioning Education in a Post-Work Leisure-Based Society: A Dialogical Approach by Eugene Matusov
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 334 Pages | ISBN : 3030463729 | 8.3 MB

This book is both an analytic and imaginative study of the future role of education in a leisure-based society. Grounded in a philosophical approach that draws on the work of Aristotle, Arendt, Keynes, and others, the volume deconstructs modern work-based society, as well as mainstream institutionalized education, which the author argues have systemically alienated students from their education, authorial agency, and society itself. The author argues for the value of intrinsic education, where the goals are based on students' own needs and interests, imagining new opportunities that can arise from the emergence of such a society.
