Sustainability, Higher Education and the Learning Society.

Foster, John

Environmental Education Research, v8 n1 p35-41 Feb 2002

The Dearing Report emphasized the idea of a 'learning society' as the new context of UK higher education, but conceived this on a model of adaptivity to economically- and technologically-driven change. While there are real shifts in social relations with which universities have to reckon, they can be understood on a much richer model of exploratory social intelligence. (Author/MM)
