This book examines the role of compassion in refiguring the
university. Plotting a reimagining of the university through care,
other-regard, and a commitment to act in response to the suffering of
others, the author draws on various humanities disciplines to
illuminate the potential of compassion in the campus. The book asks
how the sector can reclaim the university from the tides of
neoliberalism, inequalities and increased workloads, and which moral
principles and competencies would need to be championed and instilled
to build inclusive citizenship and positive connection with others. A
value that is too scarcely taught, experienced, or advocated in
contexts of higher education, compassion is reframed as an essential
pillar of the university and a means to an epistemically just campus
and curricula.
