This is the first webinar of a new era for CGHE, as David Mills takes over from Simon Marginson as Director. The webinar will begin with a brief discussion of this next stage in CGHE’s development.

The main focus of today’s webinar introduces and discusses “Higher Education for Good: Teaching and Learning Futures” . This is an open access book offering ways of thinking, conceptualising and creating possibilities for making and remaking higher education in a time of intersecting global crises. The book, containing work by over 70 authors and artists in 18 countries, has 27 chapters in 5 sections and four pre/post word pieces. The book will be described in terms of content and genres, as will the manifesto towards HE For Good.

The second part of the talk will focus on the process of conceptualising and making the book, the selection and peer review process, the commitment to and challenges of a genuinely international book covering Global North and South, building a community of authors, as well as the diamond open access decision and process.
