Description

The Playful University: Philosophical, Political and Practical Insights for a More Imaginative Higher Education This book offers a fresh perspective on the university, one that prioritises imagination, wonder and play in the pursuit of knowledge. In a marketised and regulated environment that can stifle creativity and curiosity, it provides a vital antidote, exploring the potential of play to conjure real utopias and pathways for the present and possible futures. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including higher education, sociology, philosophy, media studies, design, literature, play studies, game studies and political science, the book identifies tactics and tools for playful practices that can help reimagine a higher education in which students and staff approach their studies with purpose, care and openness to explore and build a better future. With a collaborative chapter offering philosophically and theoretically grounded principles for the playful university, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in play and subversion in higher education.
