"Despite both positive and negative perceptions of the current state of higher education, the contemporary debate over what it is to be a university is limited. Most of all, it is limited imaginatively. The range of imagined options is narrow. The imagination has not been given anything even approaching a wide scope. As a result, our sense as to what a university could be and could become in the modern age is itself impoverished. If we are seriously to develop a wide range of ideas of the university that is adequate to the challenges of the modern world, the imagination itself needs to be freed. Imagining the University seeks to address each of these sets of issues and will do so by first, identifying a very wide range of ideas of the university as it is now unfolding and could become; secondly, by evaluating those conceptions of the university with a classification of ideas of the university; and thirdly, by reflecting on the imagination itself, its current impoverishment and its possibilities. Whether studying, researching or deciding policy, this book is vital reading to all those involved in the planning and delivery of higher education"-- "Despite both positive and negative perceptions of the current state of higher education, the contemporary debate over what it is to be a university is limited.

"Universities continue to expand bringing considerable debate about their purposes and relationship to the world. In The Ecological University, Ronald Barnett argues that universities fall short of their potential and responsibilities in an ever changing and challenging environment. This book centres on the idea that the expansion of higher education has opened new spaces and possibilities. The university is inter-connected with a number of ecosystems: knowledge, social institutions, culture, individuals, learning, the economy and the natural environment. These seven ecosystems of the university are all fragile and in order to advance and develop them, universities need to engage with each one. By looking at matters such as the challenges of learning, professional life and research and inquiry, this book outlines just what it could mean for higher education institutions to understand and realise themselves as exemplars of the ecological university. With bold and original insights and practical principles for development, this radical and transformative book is essential reading for university leaders and administrators, academics, students, and all interested in the future of the university" --
