Collaboration in Higher Education

<i>Collaboration in Higher Education</i> focuses on the opportunities and challenges created by engaging in collaboration and partnership in higher education. As higher education institutions become ever more competitive to sustain their place in a global neoliberal education market students and staff are confronted with alienating practices. Such practices create an individualistic audit and surveillance culture that is exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the wholesale 'pivot' to online teaching. <br/><br/>In this atomised and competitive climate this volume synthesises theoretical perspectives and current practice to present case study examples that advocate for a more inclusive cooperative collaborative compassionate and empowering education one that sees learning and teaching as a practice that enables personal collective and societal growth. The human element of education is at the core of this book focusing on what we can do and achieve together: students academic staff higher education institutions and relevant stakeholders.
