Drawing on Habermas, Honneth, Gramsci, Foucault, and Giroux, it is an essential book for educators, researchers, managers and students in higher education, social scientists and social theorists. Student engagement is a catch-all term, irresistible to educators and policy makers, and serving many agendas and purposes.

The answers draw on Habermas, Honneth, Gramsci, Foucault, and Giroux in examining ideology, power, recognition, resistance, and student engagement, with examples drawn from across the world. It sets out key features, limitations, and failures of neoliberalism in higher education, and indicates how student engagement can resist it. Student engagement calls for higher education institutions to be sites for challenge, debate on values and power, action for social justice, and for students to engage in the struggle to resist neoliberalism, taking action to promote social justice, democracy, and the public good. This book is essential reading for educators, researchers, managers and students in higher education, social scientists, and social theorists. It is a call to reawaken higher education for social justice, human rights, democracy, and freedoms. |
