Description
Communicate for a Change: Revitalizing Conversations for Higher Education This book offers a fresh approach to addressing the challenges facing higher education. Distinguished scholars Lori Carrell and Robert Zemsky share nine candid conversations about taboo subjects, including the role of faculty in society, the impact of money on academic decisions, and the importance of understanding student needs. Through these conversations, Carrell and Zemsky explore ways to refocus discussions on what really matters, fostering trust, connection, and innovative ideas for change. By examining difficult questions and avoiding easy answers, they provide a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in revitalizing higher education. Grounded in the importance of community and honest dialogue, Communicate for a Change provides valuable insights into the challenges facing administrators, trustees, and faculty members today.
