This book explores the institutional and sector-wide implications of the financial crisis for higher education; and the lessons to be learnt from that crisis and its aftermath for the university sector as a whole. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJon Nixon argues that the university now has to be re-imagined as a social, civic and cosmopolitan good that is central to the well-being of civil society and its citizens. Key chapters focus on capability, reasoning and purposefulness as the common resources of higher education. The book highlights the urgent need for sector-wide planning and collaboration, the development of a public culture across institutions, and a broadening of the higher education curriculum. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHigher Education and the Public Good\u003c\/i\u003e points a way forward to the new and emergent civic and cosmopolitan spaces of learning.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJon Nixon\u003c\/b\u003e is Honorary Professor in the Centre for Lifelong Learning Research and Development, Hong Kong Institute of Education, Hong Kong.
