The higher education policy and practice landscape is a complex tapestry of uncertainty and hope, with tensions particularly evident in discussions and actions surrounding general education. This comprehensive volume employs an anthropological lens to explore innovative approaches to reimagining general education for the 21st century, envisioning how faculty, educators, administrators, and stakeholders can shape the educational endeavor to be holistic, comprehensive, and aligned with the needs of individuals and the planet in the coming decades. Within its pages, readers will find insightful analyses of key concepts such as diversity, case studies of integrating curricula, opportunities for faculty development, unique student populations in general education, assessment strategies, and philosophical and pedagogical challenges. Contributors argue forcefully that general education should not be viewed as a peripheral aspect of higher education but rather as a vital component, essential to meeting the educational requirements of students, equipping them with the skills and competencies needed in the workplace, and fostering civic engagement. By strengthening general education curricula, we can ensure that students are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of the modern world and contribute meaningfully to their communities and society as a whole.
