Technology and the politics of university reform

“

In this book Hamilton argues that the politics of reform in higher education is not a struggle against technology, but for it, and that the critique of online education could be re-imagined as a basis for innovation. Given the broad body of uncritical policy language that has effectively closed conceptual space globally for educators to examine learning technologies critically, Hamilton offers us timely, new and exciting routes to travel. He does not claim the text to be exhaustive, but instead invites scholars to expand his approach. I hope that many will do so, and at the same time, expand our global dialogue about how digital technologies stimulate thought, reflection, emotion, and indeed are part of human constitution, never standing alone in isolation from political agendas of reform.
