Descriere
What way forward for the contemporary university? Critical University traverses fields in critical theory (Marcuse and Althusser), psychoanalysis (Kristeva and Freud), phenomenology (Husserl), and the philosophy of education (Freire and Hooks) to focus and provoke further discussion of the university in crisis.

Recenzii
As universities become corporate institutions, where millions of students get little in the way of education but an abundance in debt, Critical University: Moving Higher Education Forward calls out the problems and provides solutions. This is a straightforward, outstanding blueprint on taking back our universities.... Read this book now if you are in favor of democracy, affordable education, and critical thinking.
This is a powerful, engaging, and timely study; a source of immense critical and practical insight because of the diverse philosophical and sociological perspectives it presents that are usually absent from the prevailing assessments of U.S. higher education today. Extending the work of Herbert Marcuse on the emancipatory nature of the humanities, Henry Giroux on critical pedagogy as a project not simply a method, and Paulo Freire's notion of cultural action for freedom, as well as that of other classical and radical theorists, Loughead champions the critical university as a site of humanist activism and creative labor, 'freedom-work' that can inspire the ingenuity and action required to advance materially toward the non-alienated character, conscience, and culture which are humanity's now eclipsed birthright.
Written with verve, cultivation, and grittiness, Critical University is a powerful contribution to the field of critical university studies as well as critical pedagogy. What is striking about Loughead's personal investment in (what she calls) freedom-work is her active refusal to separate theory from practice, head from heart, action from reflection and her unwillingness to adapt students to an insane world of pain and privation. Her passionate commitment to both a language of critique and praxis of possibility enables her students and colleagues the opportunity to live as agents and makers of history rather than as uncritical servants of history ... We will not only become better educators as a result of critically engaging Loughead's vision, but better agents of history.
