The range of ideas of the university in public circulation is, however, exceedingly narrow and is dominated by the idea of the entrepreneurial university. As a consequence, the debate is hopelessly impoverished. Lurking in the literature, there is a broad and even imaginative array of ideas of the university, but those ideas are seldom heard. We need, consequently, not just more ideas of the university but \u003ci\u003ebetter\u003c\/i\u003e ideas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImagining the University forensically examines this situation, critically interrogating many of the current ideas of the university. \u003ci\u003eImagining the University\u003c\/i\u003e argues for imaginative ideas that are critical, sensitive to the deep structures underlying universities and are yet optimistic, in short \u003ci\u003efeasible utopias\u003c\/i\u003e of the university. The case is pressed for one such idea, that of the ecological university. The book concludes by offering a vision of the imagining university, a university that has the capacity continually to re-imagine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236172193943,"sku":"9780415672023","price":15794.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415672023.webp?v=1769212169","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/imagining-the-university-9780415672023","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
