The Post-Pandemic University, Gebunden

Klappentext

The Post-Pandemic University: Storying Possibilities explores what higher education might become in the aftermath of Covid-19. Challenging narratives of a simple "return to normal," this collection argues that the pandemic exposed deep inequities and vulnerabilities within universities while also creating opportunities to imagine different futures.

Bringing together scholars, educators, academic leaders, and creative practitioners, the volume considers how grappling with the disruption and grief wrought by the pandemic can inform more humane and equitable approaches to teaching, learning, leadership, and institutional life. Through a combination of critical, reflective, and creative contributions, the book examines themes including care, belonging, and the costs of existing in the margins; collective action and community-building; pandemic pedagogy; institutional leadership; and the future of academic structures. Contributors from across Canada and the United States reflect on lived experiences within and beyond the academy, situating literary studies and story as powerful frameworks for exploring how the pandemic reshaped higher education, exposing systemic challenges and opening new pathways for collaboration, creativity, and change.

This volume will be of interest to scholars and students of higher education, literary and cultural studies, educational development, and leadership studies, as well as academic administrators and practitioners. Offering both critical insight and imaginative possibility, The Post-Pandemic University provides a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the pandemic's enduring impacts and envision more just and sustainable futures for the university.
