Refiguring Universities in an Age of Neoliberalism: Creating Compassionate Campuses de Louise J. Lawrence

Refiguring Universities in an Age of Neoliberalism: Creating Compassionate Campuses: Palgrave Critical University Studies

Autor Louise J. Lawrence
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iun 2022
This book examines the role of compassion in refiguring the university. Plotting a reimagining of the university through care, other-regard, and a commitment to act in response to the suffering of others, the author draws on various humanities disciplines to illuminate the potential of compassion in the campus. The book asks how the sector can reclaim the university from the tides of neoliberalism, inequalities and increased workloads, and which moral principles and competencies would need to be championed and instilled to build inclusive citizenship and positive connection with others. A value that is too scarcely taught, experienced, or advocated in contexts of higher education, compassion is reframed as an essential pillar of the university and a means to an epistemically just campus and curricula.

Recenzii

“This is an excellent snapshot of the current state of UK universities and a praiseworthy addition to the existing literature on compassion and the university. It is a fascinating example of how compassion can be outlined using the university educator’s own areas of expertise, which may potentially encourage similar contributions in the future. Furthermore, Lawrence refrains from decontextualising … aspects of higher education that portray suffering in the sector, making it a bravely written monograph.” (Aysha Mazhar, British Journal of Educational Studies, September 10, 2021)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“Lawrence turbo-charges a spreading collective awareness, sharpening quickly in the pandemic, that the current university campus model is unsustainable, unsafe. She goes to the root of the problem, no punches pulled, on why it is compassion that is the institution's most realistic hope of changing course away from generating suffering on an industrial scale, and towards its central, publicly agreed remit: to serve the public good. This courageous, powerhouse of a book is richly researched and beautifully written in plain accessible language. It lights the way to HE's best chance of its own survival in the coming few decisive years.”
—Theo Gilbert, Associate Professor in Learning and Teaching, University of Hertfordshire, UK 
 “A powerful and insightful call for action on the necessity and practicalities of embedding compassion throughout higher education. A fascinating and deeply thought-provoking read.”
