Faculties: A Dialogue on Inciting Constructive Change in Destructive Times (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478039297)

Faculties is a call to action, a sourcebook, and a "how to" guide for academic colleagues who want to contribute to the administrative and educational decisions being made about the future of our institutions. There is no going back to the version of US higher education that existed twenty, ten, or even one year ago. Cathy N. Davidson and Jody Greene encourage faculty and allies to incite and participate in change by offering models of successful, constructive collaboration at a destructive and demoralizing time for higher education. Faculties focuses on the urgency of coalition-building, offering data and analyses of the structural, financial, ideological, and organizational circumstances that can support or inhibit productive change in colleges, universities, and research institutions. Presented in the form of dialogues between Davidson and Greene, two of higher education's most innovative leaders, Faculties retains a welcoming, conversational tone while incorporating extensive references and citations and addressing the drastic changes to higher education since January 2025. Faculties offers the evidence and inspiration needed to enact institutional transformation now.
