Integral Ecology and the Working Future: Re-imagining University Education — a SACRU webinar
Tuesday, May 18, 2021 8:30am to 9:30am
About this Event
Higher education around the world is at an inflection point. The ongoing impact of COVID, along with broader technological, demographic and political shifts have accelerated the need to rethink the role and nature of the University. This kind of transformation transcends discussions of research, curriculum, learning delivery, and student support. It goes beyond questions of operating models and operational capacity. It invites us to think about how we can do better things, not simply how we can do things better. This series of webinar is thus focused on an exploration of the most profound questions of meaning at a University and with that, the very meaning of a University itself.
Featuring:
- Oscar Mateo, Ramon LLull University
- David Orr, Oberlin College
The four questions we have asked to the speakers are:
1. In this COVID pandemic and amidst the many other challenges, such as the ecological crisis, that we face as global citizens what is the role of a University, of its staff and its students?
2. Rather than preparing for the future then, how do you see Universities as “preparing the future”?
3. What transformations are required to enable this orientation? How might these come about?
4. What kind of work is emerging in your context, and in your discipline?
