Description
The book is part of the Educational Innovations Series and includes research output, practitioner perspectives, and reflections on current pertinent paradigms, that throw light on contemporary advances in the fields of theory and practice of educational pedagogies.
The volume examines the tension which exists between student-centered transformative pedagogies and neo-liberal pressures within higher education, as well as the opportunities being developed in this landscape. While critiques of the neoliberal Academy are not rare, much of the scholarship which highlights the dangers of this shift towards the business model stresses the damage done, the tangible contradictions, and the need for a rejection of neoliberal values. This volume is unique in its desire to highlight the opportunities for transformative work on pedagogy, from within structures that seem resistant to such work of hope and care. It offers unique journeys, insights, and testimonials of educators from around the globe who have developed processes to support and nurture emancipatory pedagogies from within structures that purport to oppose or suppress such work.
