{"product_id":"mass-intellectuality-and-democratic-leadership-joss-winn-9781350100640","title":"Mass Intellectuality and Democratic Leadership in Higher Education","description":"Higher education in the UK is in crisis. The idea of the public university is under assault, and both the future of the sector and its relationship to society are being gambled. Higher education is increasingly unaffordable, its historic institutions are becoming untenable, and their purpose is resolutely instrumental. What and who have led us to this crisis? What are the alternatives? To whom do we look for leadership in revealing those alternatives? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book critically analyses intellectual leadership in the university, exploring ongoing efforts from around the world to create alternative models for organizing higher education and the production of knowledge. Its authors offer their experience and views from inside and beyond the structures of mainstream higher education, in order to reflect on efforts to create alternatives. In the process the volume asks: is it possible to re-imagine the university democratically and co-operatively? If so, what are the implications for leadership not just within the university but also in terms of higher education's relationship to society?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe authors argue that mass higher education is at the point where it no longer reflects the needs, capacities and long-term interests of global society. An alternative role and purpose is required, based upon 'mass intellectuality' or the real possibility of democracy in learning and the production of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joss Winn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350100641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350100640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Joss Winn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44919918985471,"sku":"9781350100640","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cce12a1-ada7-44a7-8f37-f924c13626ce.jpg?v=1710359741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mass-intellectuality-and-democratic-leadership-joss-winn-9781350100640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
