Описание: In this thought-provoking volume, editors Rebecca M. Taylor and Ashley Floyd Kuntz invite readers to explore the many facets of on-campus ethical dilemmas and the careful, nuanced decision-making processes required to address them. Taylor and Kuntz demonstrate how to apply collaborative, multidisciplinary, philosophical inquiry to deeply complex issues. They present seven normative case studies focusing on a variety of campus quandaries, from urgent matters such as Title IX violations and free speech in social media policy, to long-simmering concerns such as admissions and access and the future of historically Black colleges and universities. The editors then bring together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners with a broad array of disciplinary and personal backgrounds to offer their commentary and insight on the cases. Leaders in higher education are under immense pressure to respond to campus crises quickly, to quell controversy, and to avoid the backlash of public scrutiny in an ever-shifting sociopolitical terrain. Yet, in tension with such pressures, adequate responses to these dilemmas require leaders to make ethical, contextual choices that effectively foster inclusion, respect individual and institutional freedoms, and promote equity. Expanding the scope of inquiry, the contributors challenge underlying assumptions, raise points that had been omitted from the original cases, and imagine alternative solutions. Ethics in Higher Education appeals to readers to do the same, in the interest of advancing ethical decision-making on campuses.

Описание:
The publication of "Prosperity Without Growth "was a landmark in the sustainability debate. For the first time the idea of continuous growth, the stated aim of almost all governments and businesses, was questioned and refuted. The book provoked controversy and debate and, in the five years since it was published, has led to a new wave of research building on the book s findings and conclusions.
In this new edition, Professor Tim Jackson brings his explosive book up to date, incorporating the latest data, policies and the fall-out from the economic crisis. On the most controversial issues, Jackson addresses his critics and expands on the steps required to progress to a new economy. A vital new chapter has been added on financing the green economy which explores changes which are needed to the financial sector in the wake of the economic crisis.
At the core of the book, the key question remains: is more economic growth the solution to the world s problems? Will it deliver prosperity and well-being for a global population projected to reach nine billion? Tim Jackson makes the compelling case that it won t.
In the advanced economies there continues to be mounting evidence that ever-increasing consumption adds little to human happiness and may even impede it. And it is abundantly clear that the ecosystems that sustain our economies are collapsing under the impacts of rising consumption.
To protect the world s natural resources and for the future well-being of the human race, we will have to devise a path to prosperity that does not rely on continued growth. In the second edition of "Prosperity Without Growth, "Tim Jackson provides a clear credible vision of how human society can flourish within the ecological limits of a finite planet."
