Abstract	"This book calls into question the colonial and neoliberal university, presenting alternative models of higher education that can more effectively respond to today's intersecting social, economic, environmental and political crises. The authors argue that universities should be driven by a different set of core values - one that promotes the common good over private or commercial interests, individualism and market fundamentalism. Presenting a broad range of educational initiatives form around the world that reflect life-affirming regenerative and relational practices, Indigenous intellectual sovereignty, and principles of social and ecological justice, the authors contend that pathways toward transforming higher education already exist within and without the university. This task, say the authors, is urgent and necessary if universities and other institutions are to hold relevance in a rapidly changing global environment. This book makes a unique contribution to critiques of the modern, neoliberal university by looking for alternatives within and beyond traditional institutions of higher education. In doing so, the authors dismantle the longstanding "ivory tower" image of the university, instead resituating education within broader social and ecological communities. Transforming Universities in the Midst of Global Crisis is aimed at all those who have a direct and indirect interest and stake in universities: from the general reader to futurists, ecologists as well as students, academics, administrators, managers, policy makers and politicians." -- Contents: Foreword -- Preface -- Acknowledgment -- Introduction -- Encountering global crises -- Approach and structure of the book -- Positioning ourselves -- Part one -- Today's universities: content and challenges -The colonial roots and neoliberal takeover of higher education -- Heading upstream -- Neoliberal enclosure and its origins -- The neoliberal agenda -- Australia's tertiary enclosure -- Hospicing higher education -- The case for transgressive alternatives -- Universities and narratives of crisis -- The climate crisis -- Covid-19, social injustice and universities -- Universities at the crossroads -- The case for change -- Reimagining the university -- The 'glitch' -- Diverse spaces for reimagining the university -- Minor reforms: a life support for modernity -- Major reforms: new possibilities for thinking -and doing -differently -- Beyond reform: hopiscing a system in decline -- Conclusions -- Part two -- values and practices -- Decolonising higher education -- Neoliberalism as colonialism continued -- The ongoing coloniality of universities today -- Toward a decolonial university -- Decolonising pedagogies -- Taking aim at the property paradigm -- Indigenous study on its own terms: the Dechinta Bush University -- Can we decolonise a university of the common good? -- De-centralisation, equity and democratisation -- Introduction -- Bullshit governance: the stifling effects of managerialism -- Colonial shadows: homogeneity and governance -- Cooperative governance: benefits and new ecologies -- Alternative governance regimes -- 'Co-governance' : looking to Latin America -- The social science centre, Lincoln, England -- Towards democratic governance? -- Free universities: free learning, slow learning and decolonial learning on the university's threshold -- Reimagining universities from the outside in -- A brief history of free universities -- Free universities today' -- Class consciousness': revolutionising class content and pedagogies -- Reimagining time -- The decolonial potentials of free universities -- Beyond inside/outside thinking -- New horizons: regenerative and relational universities -- Introduction: beyond sustainability -- Cultures of regeneration and relationality -- Principles of regenerative/relational learning and unlearning -- Regenerative/relational learning within and beyond the academy -- Global movements toward regenerative/relational education -- Head, hand, heart: the Earth University and other regenerative/relational learning projects -- Translating regenerative/relational learning into universities -- Advocating for change -- Transformational change and its obstacles -- Conclusion -- Introduction -- What might we do -collectively -with this moment of possibility? -- Main arguments of this book -- Concluding with key claims.
