Higher Education in Liquid Modernity

Om Higher Education in Liquid Modernity

Based in sociologist Zygmunt Bauman¿s theory of liquid modernity, this volume describes and critiques key aspects and practices of liquid education--education as market-driven consumption, short life span of useful knowledge, overabundance of information--through a comparison with ancient Greek paideia and medieval university education, producing a sweeping analysis of the history and philosophy of education for the purpose of understanding higher education, positing a more holisitic alternative model in which students are embedded in a learning community that is itself embedded in a larger society. This volume outlines a renewed vision of social transformation through higher education.
