Reviews
A critical resource for envisioning the future of higher education, this collection tackles the persistent challenges of inequity, inertia, and exclusion in educational institutions. It calls for a reimagining of teaching and learning practices, urging us toward responsive, holistic, sustainable, and equitable frameworks that support all students, especially the most vulnerable. Essential for those dedicated to building a just and more responsive educational environment.
If you find yourself hoping that higher education doesn't simply snap back to its pre-pandemic state, this book offers a compelling collection of roadmaps forward. With an impressive plurality of voices and perspectives, these fundamentally hopeful essays widen the scope of data, evidence, frameworks, histories, and cases to draw from in the important work of creating the future of learning.
While incredible unfortunate, the pandemic provided a collective opportunity for us to rethink what constitutes what we offer in the name of an equity-minded education. This wonderful group of authors provides a philosophical base to guide that thinking. The lessons learned about resilience and adaptability are not only relevant for how we responded to that event, but also on how we can reconstruct the higher education experience.
