Table of ContentsReviewsThis book presents a trenchant approach to dismantling the neoliberal university discourse. Navigating diverse theories, the author envisions the ecological university, crucial amid societal shifts. Their disruptive ideas and innovative perspectives emerge as pivotal for higher education’s transformation. -- Paulo Rogério Miranda Correia, Professor in the School of Arts, Science and Humanities, University of São Paulo, Brazil By drawing on biological constructs, and undertaking an institutional natural history, Ian Kinchin offers a fresh and exciting analysis of the ‘ecologically-sick’ university, and proposes five steps towards an ecological university. Its novel application of health-sciences and biological concepts shines light on how to ‘mend’ the careless atrophy in the system and is essential reading for all of us who care deeply about our work but increasingly dislike our jobs in higher education. -- Sally Baker, Associate Professor in Migration and Education, Australian National University, Australia Author InformationIan M. Kinchin is Emeritus Professor in Higher Education in the Surrey Institute of Education at the University of Surrey, UK. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
