Seeking a co-operative university: Reconstructing adult education and reclaiming HE as a public good; Malcolm Noble and Cilla Ross -- Chapter 14. Afterword; Sally Birch.This book asks how we can reclaim the university for the public good. The editors and contributors argue that the sector is in crisis, accelerated by the passing of the UK Higher Education Research Act in 2017 and made visible during the University and College Union strikes in April 2018. In response to this, there are widespread demands to reclaim the university and protect education as a public good, using co-operative structures. Taking an interdisciplinary and social justice perspective, the editors and contributors offer concrete examples of alternative higher education: in doing so, analysing how the future of the university can be recovered. This intersectional volume discusses a broad range of approaches to higher education while disseminating new ideas. It will be of interest and value to those disenchanted with the current state of higher education in the UK and beyond, as well as activists and policy makers. .Palgrave Critical University Studies,2662-7337Education, HigherEducation and stateEducationPhilosophyContinuing educationHigher EducationEducational Policy and PoliticsPhilosophy of EducationEducational PhilosophyLifelong LearningEducation, Higher.Education and state.EducationPhilosophy.Continuing education.Higher Education.Educational Policy and Politics.Philosophy of Education.Educational Philosophy.Lifelong Learning.378.01379Noble Malcolmedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRoss Cillaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910364947703321Reclaiming the University for the Public Good2534930UNINA
