How can higher education empower students as agents of the social transformations that our
societies need so urgently? Linn Friedrichs connects John Dewey's education theory current
research on globalization and inclusive curriculum design approaches to propose a new
educational model for our age of complexity crisis and innovation. Drawing lessons from NYU's
efforts to globalize its research pedagogy and social impact she presents building blocks
for a new curricular core that is structured around the key challenges of our time and the
competencies of »complexity resilience«. It becomes the essential foundation for
action-oriented partnerships across cultural disciplinary generational and institutional
boundaries.
