解説
Rethinking the American research university over the next seventy-five years.
How might scholars writing in the year 2100 interpret the academic culture of the early twenty-first century? How might they assess the role research universities and liberal arts colleges played in shaping the social, economic, political, and environmental contours of the century? In Academic Cultures, Michael M. Crow and William B. Dabars convene a diverse group of scholars to imagine the future of the American research university while reconsidering the contemporary academy through the lens of speculative hindsight.
Across disciplines, contributors ask whether the epistemic norms, governance structures, incentive systems, and institutional designs of contemporary universities may either enable or constrain society's capacity to confront systemic challenges such as the climate crisis, demographic change, technological disruption, and democratic fragility. The volume interrogates core academic values-free inquiry, peer review, shared governance, knowledge production for the common good-and asks whether they remain sufficient in a world defined by accelerating complexity. Will change within the academy remain incremental, or is more fundamental transformation already underway? Can research universities move beyond inherited design constraints to assume more prominent roles in fostering responsible innovation and inclusive growth?
Building on Crow and Dabars' earlier work on institutional redesign, this collection invites leaders, trustees, faculty, and policymakers to reexamine the structures and purposes of the contemporary research university. By imagining how future generations might evaluate our present decisions, Academic Cultures offers a compelling framework for rethinking the academic sector at a moment of consequential institutional change.
