The Liberal Arts Paradox in Higher Education: Negotiating Inclusion and Prestige

Description: The Liberal Arts Paradox in Higher Education by Kathryn Telling Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description By examining the emergence and growth of liberal arts degrees in English higher education, this book tackles one of the key issues in the critical sociology of higher education: the relationship between selective education and elitism. Publisher Description The liberal arts approach to higher education is a growing trend globally. We are told that the mental dexterity and independent, questioning spirit cultivated by such interdisciplinary degrees are the best preparation for the as-yet unknown executive jobs of tomorrow.This book explores the significant recent growth of these degrees in England, in order to address an enduring problem for higher education: the relationship between meritocracy and elitism.Against the view that the former is a myth providing rhetorical cover for the latter, it argues that these are two entangled, but discrete, value systems. Sociology must now pay attention to how students and academics attempt to disentangle them. Author Biography Kathryn Telling is a Lecturer in Education at University of Manchester.
