Framed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing crisis of structural racism, \u003ci\u003eHigher Education for Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e explores academe's role in advancing democracy by using a cross-national comparison of Los Angeles, New Delhi, and Hong Kong to develop strategies that universities can employ to strengthen democracy and resist fascism. William G. Tierney argues that if academe is to be a progenitor in the advancement of democracy, then we need to consider five areas of change that have been significant across national contexts amid both globalization and neoliberalism: inequality, privatization, the public good, identity, and academic freedom. Taking a comparative approach and drawing on scholarly literature, archival research, and interviews, \u003ci\u003eHigher Education for Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e aims to understand these changes and their implications and to position higher education in defense of democracy in a globalized economy framed by fascism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410303045976,"sku":"9781438484495","price":90.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438484495_34e063fe-9cdc-4880-bf8c-9da235686d59.jpg?v=1777896014","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/higher-education-for-democracy-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
