Description
Higher education institutions across the world are increasingly converging on a single model of what it is to be a university. driven by league tables. and a managerial approach to leadership. In this book the author asks whether there might be another way of being a university. Over a series of fifteen short reflections the author discusses higher education leadership drawing on his personal experience as a gay man. a Catholic. a social scientist. and a senior leader in higher education.
The book begins with an exploration of the proposition of the uniqueness of every individual. and builds an approach that offers a radical challenge to all forms of classification. This leads to a critique of disciplinary boundaries. accepted approaches to learning and course design. and to management and leadership more generally. and a contemporary focus on identity politics.
