Synopsis
Higher education contributes to the public good in many ways. This book argues for a transformational and reflexive approach that takes full account of the nature of the university, its practices and programmes. The authors of this inspiring collection discuss philosophical approaches and present empirical and practical ideas for teaching and learning at university for the public good. Four major aspects of transforming universities are explored: the purpose and ethos of the university; its conception of graduate attributes; the way programmes and teaching are delivered; and the institution's approach to academics and their professional development. The book will be indispensable to all universities who are evaluating their own principles and practice. This book is enriched by international perspectives as well as a uniquely southern focus. While some of the authors live and work in America, the UK and other areas of Europe, all have links with South Africa which add insight to their chapters.

The time has come for universities to take sides. They cannot just be players on the field - they need to pick a side. And that side should be the public good. --Professor Russell Botman, Rector, Stellenbosch University.
