Many contemporary commentators present a damning account of the
current state of higher education, to the extent that our universities
may be considered to be broken. This book offers an alternative
perspective to the dominant neoliberal discourse and provides the
conceptual tools to help construct a trajectory of repair for our
universities. These ideas are presented within this book as five moves
to transform our current pathological situation and develop towards a
more healthy and sustainable ecological learning environment. In this
book, Ian Kinchin draws upon a wide range of sources from the
philosophy of education, biological and clinical sciences as well as
educational research and academic development. This alternative
ecology of ideas presents a challenge to university leaders and asks
if we care enough about the future of our universities to encourage an
evolution of practice that deals sustainably with the wicked problems
our universities face in the coming century. It describes a move
towards an ecological university. The book includes a foreword written
by Martyn Kingsbury, Professor of Higher Education and Director of the
Centre for Higher Education Research and Scholarship, Imperial College
London, UK.
