Enhancing Values of Dignity, Democracy, and Diversity in Higher Education : Comparative Insights for Challenging Times

Contesting a gradual disregard for the values of dignity, democracy, and diversity in higher education, this volume explores best practices from universities and colleges in Israel and the US to illustrate how these values can offer a holistic values framework for higher education globally. Presenting a range of interdisciplinary chapters from fields including history, philosophy, memorial studies, cultural, political, gender, and religious studies, the text considers how these values can be reflected in policy and practice across all areas of the university, including teaching and learning, admissions, students' affairs, staff wellbeing, and institutional identity. The volume highlights constructive theories, experimental models, and case studies that collectively inform a holistic framework for moral, ethical, and equitable higher education worldwide. Offering key insights into the relevant discourse regarding local and global events that have impacted both Israelis and Americans, this volume will appeal to researchers in the fields of Higher Education, Sociology of Education and Philosophy of Education, as well as post-graduates and scholars with interests in the transformation of Higher Education in light of contemporary times and challenges.
