COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/1421441748 This is a different kind of book: a call for courageous conversations focusing on nine taboo subjects that bedevil higher education.For nearly a decade, distinguished scholars Lori Carrell and Robert Zemsky have been having frank conversations with each other―and with colleagues and friends―about the state of higher education. In Communicate for a Change, they bring together nine of their most insightful conversations to explore difficult questions that today's administrators, trustees, and faculty members too frequently avoid. Why, Carrell and Zemsky ask, is it so hard to talk about the mess that higher education is in? And how can we refocus the conversation on what really matters, grappling with taboo subjects in a way that helps to revitalize higher education from the inside out? Grounded in the real, as opposed to the rhetorical, importance of community in making change, these revealing conversations also explore• why the public no longer sees faculty as heroes and experts• how to overcome the academy's fondness for slogans• how money talks• why curricular change doesn't (usually) happen• the students we hardly know and how we might come to know them better• how to constructively approach differences of race and gender• and much moreA golden thread weaves its way through

DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/1421441748 This is a different kind of book: a
call for courageous conversations focusing on nine taboo subjects that bedevil higher
education.For nearly a decade, distinguished scholars Lori Carrell and Robert Zemsky have been
having frank conversations with each other―an with colleagues and friends―abut the
state of higher education. In Communicate for a Change, they bring together nine of their most
insightful conversations to explore difficult questions that today's administrators, trustees, and
faculty members too frequently avoid. Why, Carrell and Zemsky ask, is it so hard to talk about the
mess that higher education is in? And how can we refocus the conversation on what really
matters, grappling with taboo subjects in a way that helps to revitalize higher education from the
inside out? Grounded in the real, as opposed to the rhetorical, importance of community in making
change, these revealing conversations also explore•why the public no longer sees faculty
as heroes and experts•how to overcome the academy's fondness for slogans•how
money talks•why curricular change doesn't (usually) happen•the students we hardly
know and how we might come to know them better•how to constructively approach
differences of race and gender•and much moreA golden thread weaves its way through the
book, revealing the premise that rich, honest talk can generate trust, connection, and fresh ideas
for revolutionary change. Carrell, the chancellor of the University of Minnesota Rochester, is by
both training and instinct a testifier. Learning for her is tangible, a product of truly getting dirty,
sorting through the muck of conflict as well as connection. Zemsky, on the other hand, is a
provocateur who pushes an argument as a means to explore differences and conflicts. Both are
natural storytellers. Their conversations are enriched by the contributions of a host of higher
education experts and leaders. Breaking new ground in terms of both its subject matter and its
format, Communicate for a Change is an accessible and engaging catalyst that will kick-start
subsequent deliberations.
