Principles, Practices, and Creative Tensions in Progressive Higher Education: One Institution's Struggle to Sustain a Vision

Katherine Jelly, Alan Mandell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2017
In this multi-faceted case study of one progressive institution of adult higher education, the editors and contributors to the volume lay out significant challenges confronting not just non-traditional post-secondary colleges and universities but all institutions of higher education in today’s rapidly changing context. Contending that non-traditional institutions are especially challenged in these turbulent times, they argue that these organizations’ distinctive academic programs are among the most threatened in the landscape of higher education today.
The 19 essays that make up this volume highlight and examine key creative tensions, rich interplays of emphases and values in higher education, in order to illuminate and address more intentionally the questions that we must address: Can we make constructive use of these tensions? Can we recognize what is at stake? And can we chart a course that will both respond innovatively to rapid change and sustain a vision and the purposes and principles on which that vision rests? Taken as a whole, this volume sheds light on the questions and creative tensions that can, with thoughtful attention, help to keep an alternative, progressive vision of adult higher education alive.

Recenzii

"This book is a remarkably candid and honest self-study of Empire State College (ESC), as many faculty, administrators, and students struggle to remain true to the institution’s historic roots as SUNY’s flagship of progressivism. The editors and contributors to this volume have experienced life at ESC as participant observers, tossed between ideals and realities. The result is a book that speaks not only to the travailsfacing progressive institutions but all institutions in today’s chaotic academic environment."
