Book Review: Creative Universities : Reimagining Education for Global Challenges and Alternative Futures

How can we help adult learners engage effectively with complex 21st century global challenges, while at the same time imagine alternative responses to them? Schwittay’s text proposes a simple but powerful answer: by combining critique with creativity. Laying out a critical-creative pedagogy with four interwoven strands—whole person learning, creative methods, praxis, and critical hope—this book walks readers through how to combine critique and creativity in an accessible, engaging, personable, and intellectually stimulating manner. It provides theoretical foundations, practical tools, and rich examples of structural and institutional teaching and learning interven tions for enacting alternative education futures.
