  • Product Description

    This book examines the idea that the defining feature of academic professional identity is the search for understanding. The editors and contributors foster and contribute to a debate around reviving the civic function and democratic values of public institutions serving the public good. The book shows how questions of teaching, research, and management in universities are also questions about the struggle over deliberative democracy. It demonstrates how higher education can contribute to building a society that is prosperous and secure, compassionate, tolerant, and able to value and appreciate diversity.
