HIGHER EDUCATION AND HOPE GEBUNDEN

Around the world  the landscape of Higher Education is increasingly shaped by discourses of
employability  rankings  and student satisfaction. Under these conditions  the role of
universities in preparing students for all facets of life  and to contribute to the public good
is reshaped in significant ways: ways which are often negative and pessimistic. This book
raises important and pressing questions about the nature and role of universities as formative
educational institutions  drawing together contributors from both Western and non-Western
perspectives. While the editors and contributors critique the current situation  the chapters
evince a more humane and compassionate framing of the work of and in universities  based on
positive and valued relationships and notions of the good. Drawing together a wide range of
theoretical and conceptual frameworks to illuminate the issues discussed  this volume changes
the debate to one of hopefulness and inspiration about the role of higher education for the
public good: ultimately looking towards a potentially exciting and rewarding future through
which humanity and the planet can flourish.
