Adventurous Learning in Higher Education

A Metamodern Framework

Adventurous Learning in Higher Education challenges neoliberal university systems and calls for radical change. It proposes “pedagogies of adventure,” grounded in a metamodern framework, to equip graduates with the capabilities and values needed to address complex global challenges and build a more sustainable, equitable society.

Designed as a provocation, Adventurous Learning in Higher Education asks readers to join a conversation to re-evaluate what successful higher education looks like for individuals, institutions, and policymakers.

The book directly challenges neoliberal higher education systems and proposes a radical pedagogical approach - pedagogies of adventure – underpinned by a new metamodern framework to nurture the capabilities and sensibilities graduates now need and the values necessary for a sustainable and equitable society. It establishes why change is urgent identifying barriers caused by metrification, stratification and performance metrics that prevent the sector delivering the right kind of education, in this moment and suggests how these are tackled. It argues only through radical change can higher education address the impenetrable problems, wickedness, injustices, complexities, and paradoxes that define our era.

This is a crucial read for anyone who wants higher education to matter, for it to be transformative, from students to educators, from policymakers to university leaders. Its message is a hopeful one: higher education can change and adventurous learning and metamodernism can make it happen.
