About the Book
Volume four in the On Higher Education Transformation book series with African Sun Media, the book explores how Critical University Studies can be advanced in relation to:
Histories of Intellectual Emergence
Decolonial theory
Abolitionist Studies
Sustainable development
The African university
From a global perspective, the book explores the conditions necessary for advancing Critical University Studies, drawing on case studies from Canada, Germany, India, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. It draws attention to the systemic barriers faced by marginalised academic communities and emphasises the importance of resistance in shaping knowledge production and academic identities.
The book's concluding section underscores the necessity of reflexivity in critical scholarship and praxis, acknowledging the potential for critique to both disrupt and perpetuate harmful patterns.
This book is essential reading for academics, students, and intellectuals dedicated to fostering transformative change within higher education. Secure your copy today.
