Making Sense of Teaching in Difficult Times

Thinking about teaching in educational terms has become increasingly difficult because of the dominant conceptions of higher education and the fact that assumptions about social mobility, usefulness, and the economic advantages of higher education can no longer be taken for granted. This book explores understandings of education and teaching experiences in changing global, national, and institutional contexts, and considers the value of disciplinary tools of analysis, connections between pedagogies, autonomy and intercultural classes, and countering the marketization of higher education through online teaching. This book was published as a special issue of Teaching in Higher Education.
