Higher Education for Good
Teaching and Learning Futures
Endorsements
This book is an experience, not just something to read. The originality of the book’s contribution lies not only in its engaging formats of images, prose, poetry and more, but in the inspiring and important intellectual contribution made by the chapters individually and collectively.
Jan McArthur
Senior Lecturer, Head of Educational Research, Lancaster University
Reviews
Higher Education for Good: Teaching and Learning Futures (Czerniewicz and Cronin 2023) (hereafter HE4G) has been more than a book. It has been a public event, a gathering, a diversely peopled conversation within and beyond its pages: the desperate throw of a lifeline or the hopeful throw of a dream, beyond the really existing universities of the present towards better alternatives. If, somehow, readers of Postdigital Science and Education have managed to avoid this conversation, I urge you to join it now, wherever your scholarly social media and reading habits find it.
