The Politics of the Imagination in Our Globalized World

Abstract

If ‘another knowledge is possible’ (de Sousa Santos, 2007) and ‘another world is possible’ (George, 2004), this book argues that other universities and another higher education must be possible, in order to recognize other knowledges and to help pave the way to another globalization that is more egalitarian and inclusive. This final chapter will summarize the rising critique of conventional universities, as well as the features of schools of development studies that resonate with the changes that critics advocate within universities in terms of subject matter, methodologies, student constituencies and global ideologies.
