The Reinvention of Liberal Learning Around the Globe

Beschreibung

Despite - or because - we live in calculative and instrumental times in higher education, liberal arts colleges and programmes are flourishing. They draw students fascinated by society and culture who want to make a creative contribution. The Reinvention of Liberal Learning around the Globe is an indispensable introduction to this diverse and brilliant educational world. (Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education; Director of ESRC/RE Centre for Global Higher Education, University of Oxford)

This volume comprehensively documents the transforming nature of liberal arts institutions within the overall tensions provided by the global pandemic occurring at the intersection with a major transitional moment of technology and communication. Its timeliness is underscored by the geographic reach of its contributions, providing a unique perspective on the multitude of ways in which higher education is responding to these powerful forces. (Deane E. Neubauer, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Hawaii, Manoa; Associate Director of the Asia Pacific Higher Education Research Partnership)

This is a most timely overview and analysis of liberal arts worldwide. The editors brought together thoughtful scholars from around the world to demonstrate the dogged persistence, resiliency, and vulnerability of the liberal arts. For those who still believe that the key value of higher learning is to enrich the intellect, enliven the spirit, and take more responsibility for the future of humanity, this valuable book provides a framework for the future.

“Despite—or because—we live in calculative and instrumental times in higher education, liberal arts colleges and programmes are flourishing. They draw students fascinated by society and culture who want to make a creative contribution. The Reinvention of Liberal Learning around the Globe is an indispensable introduction to this diverse and brilliant educational world.” (Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education and Director of the ESRC/RE Centre for Global Higher Education, University of Oxford) 
“Change has been upon us in higher education and only accelerated during and coming out of the disruptions caused by the pandemic. But how we change will necessarily depend on context, culture, finances, societal and demographic shifts, shifts in the job market, and any number of forces. The editors pull together a diverse set of authors to share a wide range of approaches and trends in shaping the present and future of our liberal arts institutions and programs. The diversity of perspectives makes this book of interest and use to anyone thinking deeply about and acting in support of the future of higher education and liberal arts education.” (Michael (Mickey) McDonald, President, Great Lakes Colleges Association and the Global Liberal Arts Alliance)
“What are the immutable core values of liberal arts education in the rapidly changing uncertain world today and in the future? This book rigorously questions and redefines liberal arts education by examining unique contexts of Asia, North and South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. It also considers the complexity of the contemporary issues and emerging innovations in higher education such as online and blended learning, virtual exchange programs, integrating the entrepreneurial spirit and development mind in curriculum, and collaborative course design and sharing. With the wide diversity of perspectives and experiences presented by the international authors, wecould envision the future liberal arts education in nurturing global and caring leader with multiple collaborative possibilities through this book.” (Mikiko Nishimura, Professor of International Christian University, Japan; Co-President of the Global Research Network for Liberal Arts Education)

“This is a most timely overview and analysis of liberal arts worldwide. Insung Jung and Ka-ho Mok brought together thoughtful scholars from around the world to demonstrate the dogged persistence, resiliency, and vulnerability of the liberal arts at a time when the STEM fields seem to be dominating higher learning. The book brings out the challenges, obstacles, and unlimited possibilities of the liberal arts in higher education. It also demonstrates the power and sustainability of the liberal arts movement at a time when global crises need rational thought and a return to an emphasis on human welfare. For those who still believe that the key value of higher learning is to enrich the intellect, enliven the spirit, and take more responsibility for the future of humanity, this valuable book provides a framework for the future.” (Gerard A. Postiglione, Emeritus Professor, Honorary Professor of Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong)
