Hans Schildermans, a renowned philosopher and scholar, draws upon the rich tapestry of philosophy and theory in higher education, incorporating the insights of John Dewey, Donna Haraway, William James, Bruno Latour, Martin Savransky, Isabelle Stengers, and Alfred North Whitehead. In his exploration of the study practices at the Palestinian experimental university 'Campus in Camps,' Schildermans develops the concept of an ecology of study, offering a fresh perspective on the interplay between academia and society. By avoiding the traditional dichotomies of autonomous and capitalized universities, he emphasizes the importance of study practices as a site of resistance against the neoliberal and capitalist reforms currently underway in higher education. Through his visionary approach, Schildermans encourages readers to envision a different future for universities, one that aligns with the values of social justice, sustainability, and intellectual rigor. This thought-provoking book appeals to activists, critical academics, and anyone concerned with the current state and future trajectory of higher education.
