Synopsis "Knowledge Under Siege: Charting a Future for Universities"

At a time when universities are being defunded by governments and vilified by ultra-conservative pundits, defining their value has never been more urgent For decades, efforts to quantify the value of universities in dollars and cents led to the corporatization of institutions that are meant to serve their students and society by creating knowledge and teaching--not by turning a profit. Now more than ever, the role of the university in advancing discovery, democracy, equity, and in contributing to its students' success is under siege and needs to be defended. Knowledge Under Siege picks up where Spooner and McNinch's Dissident Knowledge in Higher Education left off and analyzes today's volatile higher education landscape--one where hostility towards the academy is a growing trend across the globe. Bringing together leading international voices, including Gloria Ladson-Billings, Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Christopher Newfield, Kevin Kumashiro, and many others, the book considers how universities are facing unprecedented threats that include defunding, criticism of and the dismantling of initiatives to diversify the academy, academic gag orders, and efforts to undermine tenure and academic freedom. It asks how institutions can resist these incursions while working towards becoming engines of social mobility for a diverse student body (not merely serving the most privileged) and graduating critical thinkers who aspire to build a better world. There is a consensus in higher education that universities must remain autonomous so that our societies can better understand both our history and our rapidly changing world. Knowledge Under Siege is a call to action to fight for our institutions and make them self-reflexive spaces where truth and learning continue to thrive.
