The University in Ruins
Readings, Bill
Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA
1996
From the Publisher
It is no longer clear what role the University plays in society. The structure of the contemporary University is changing rapidly, and we have yet to understand what precisely these changes will mean. Is a new age dawning for the University, the renaissance of higher education under way? Or is the University in the twilight of its social function, the demise of higher education fast approaching? We can answer such questions...

Thinking Again: Education After Postmodernism
Blake, Nigel, Paul Smeyers, Richard Smith, Paul Standish
Bergin & Garvey, Westport, CT
1998
From the Publisher
The postmodern condition, in which instrumentalism finally usurps all other considerations, has produced a kind of intellectual paralysis in the world of education. The authors of this book show how such postmodernist thinkers as Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard illuminate puzzling aspects of education, arguing that educational theory is currently at an impasse. They argue that we need these new and disturbing ideas in order to...

MacIntyre, Alasdair
University of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN
1990
From the Publisher
Alasdair MacIntyre whom Newsweek has called "one of the foremost moral philosophers in the English-speaking world" here presents his 1988 Gifford Lectures as an expansion of his earlier work Whose Justice?

The outlook of that earlier world, MacIntyre claims, was definitively...

When Hope and Fear Collide: A Portrait of Today's College Student
Levine, Arthur and Jeanette S. Cureton
Jossey-Bass, San Francisco, CA
1998
From the Publisher
In his 1980 book When Dreams and Heroes Died, Arthur Levine presented a portrait of a generation of college students without heroes - a generation optimistic about their own futures, but pessimistic about the future of the country and the world. These students turned inward, away from activism and community and toward individual and material gain, a trend that continued throughout the 80s and showed little sign of changing....

Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, New York

Bergquist, William H. and Kenneth Pawlak

In The Four Cultures of the Academy, William H. Bergquist identified four different, yet interrelated, cultures found in North American higher education: collegial, managerial, developmental, and advocacy.

Hersh, Richard H. and Merrow, John, editors
Palgrave Macmillan, NY

The Concept of a University
Minogue, Kenneth
Transaction Publishers, New Brunswick, NJ
2006
From the Publisher
Taking on the challenge of the postmodernists of politics, Kenneth Minogue argues forcefully and persuasively that the current dominant philosophies of education rest upon a mistake. The fashionable belief that the university is society's handmaiden is confronted by a view of the university as an institution with an independent vitality and function. Minogue at one and the same time reminds us of the sources of admiration...

The Shaping of American Higher Education: Emergence and Growth of the Contemporary System
Cohen, Arthur M.
Jossey-Bass, San Francisco
1998
From the Publisher
The reader may find the title of this excellent volume too modest for the rich presentation of American educational history it offers. Much more than a shaping of that historical record, the educational facts presented gain a special resonance from the richness of the social and economic background against which the history unfolds.

Education Between Two Worlds
Meiklejohn, Alexander
Transaction Publishers, New Brunswick, NJ
2005
From the Publisher
This classic and rather poignant argument that education is the answer to the questions posed by Anglo-Saxon cultures was written by Meiklejohn (late president of Amherst College and founder of the U. of Wisconsin's Experimental College) as the horrors of World War II were a daily event. In such a time and with such a background, it is no surprise Meiklejohn freely ties theory to practice, policy, and pedagogy as he describes...

This book argues that in order to achieve...
