Written in an accessible style, Beyond McDonaldization examines questions such as:Can we regain academic freedom whilst challenging the McDonaldization of thought and ideas?Is a McDonaldization of every aspect of academic life inevitable?Will the new focus on student experience damage young people?Why is a McDonaldized education living on borrowed time?Is it possible to recreate the university of the past or must we start anew?Does this industrialisation meet the educational needs of developing economies?This book brings international discussions on the changing world of higher education and the theory of McDonaldization together, seeking to provide a positive future vision of higher education. Analysing and situating the discussion of higher education within a wider social, political and cultural context, this ground-breaking text will have a popular appeal with students, academics and educationalists.

This edited volume creates a framework for understanding academic public good and offers case studies and perspectives as in depth examples of the ways in which colleges and universities engage with the community to produce social benefits. Focusing on the Asia Pacific region, the authors discuss examples of engagement that produce consciousness, partnerships, and services that are broadly available to the public and enhance the progress of society. The authors argue that, unlike an individual degree, these are public benefits that should be focused upon and featured more readily so that the breadth of university benefits come to be better understood. Christopher S. Collins is Assistant Professor of Higher Education at Azusa Pacific University, USA, and Associate Director of the Asia Pacific Higher Education Research Partnership at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. His research focuses on the function of higher education in society and its role in social and economic progress.
