Klappentext zu „Refiguring Universities in an Age of Neoliberalism “
This book examines the role of compassion in refiguring the university. Plotting a reimagining of the university through care, other-regard, and a commitment to act in response to the suffering of others, the author draws on various humanities disciplines to illuminate the potential of compassion in the campus. The book asks how the sector can reclaim the university from the tides of neoliberalism, inequalities and increased workloads, and which moral principles and competencies would need to be championed and instilled to build inclusive citizenship and positive connection with others. A value that is too scarcely taught, experienced, or advocated in contexts of higher education, compassion is reframed as an essential pillar of the university and a means to an epistemically just campus and curricula.

Pressezitat
"This is an excellent snapshot of the current state of UK universities and a praiseworthy addition to the existing literature on compassion and the university. It is a fascinating example of how compassion can be outlined using the university educator's own areas of expertise, which may potentially encourage similar contributions in the future. Furthermore, Lawrence refrains from decontextualising ... aspects of higher education that portray suffering in the sector, making it a bravely written monograph." (Aysha Mazhar, British Journal of Educational Studies, September 10, 2021)
