About the Book
In a world where the concept of the university is constantly evolving, The University Defended explores the idea of the university and why it requires both defense and re-imagining. Through historical examination and contemporary critique, this volume delves into the transformation of the university in medieval Europe and critically assesses its place in today's neoliberal India.
The author, Debaditya Bhattacharya, challenges the conventional liberal-humanist vision of academic exchange, addressing long-standing debates about the true nature of the modern university. The book probes deeper questions, such as what it means to defend the university and whether this defense should involve rethinking the very foundation of academic institutions.
This book, along with its companion The University Unthought: Notes for a Future, forms a pioneering intervention in the ongoing political debate about the future(s) of higher education. It will resonate with academics, educators, students of social sciences and humanities, and anyone concerned with the future of education. It also offers valuable insights for policy-makers and education analysts, making it essential reading for anyone invested in the future of universities and education in the modern world.
