Humanising Higher Education “This book provides a fantastic insight into Higher Education’s beating heart, its people and communities. Diverse and vibrant communities are at the centre of university life and this book captures this richness through very well chosen case studies and stories of people’s journeys through life. A fusion of ideas and minds that brings these communities to life with a real energy and passion for making a difference and enriching society. The rhythm of life has been tested in recent times and to provide such a well researched and powerful analysis of what makes these communities thrive is just brilliant”. —Professor John Vinney, Vice-Chancellor of Bournemouth University “Imagine how the world would change if all of the students graduating from every college and university not only experienced humanisation as part of their academic, social, and student employee journey, but also learned how to create it for themselves. Integrating kindness, wellbeing, and respect into our interactions with students and colleagues supports a cultural transformation to humanisation for everyone working, teaching, and studying in higher education and beyond. The chorus of voices in this amazing book will inspire, uplift, and propel you on your journey to humanise higher ed at your institution”. —Ruth Archer, Ph.D., Director of Continuous Improvement at Michigan Technological University, US, and chair of the Lean HE Americas Division “This is a vital book that comes at a vital time. It’s call is clear—in a world of AI and technological advances, chaos and uncertainty, we must never ever underestimate the power of humanity and the need to humanise our encounters with others. It is fundamental to our relationships and to our performance at work. Ultimately wellbeing leads to well-doing and this brilliantly written and researched book articulates this so well.” —Professor Paul McGee, SUMO4Schools Foundation CIC, Cannock, Staffordshire, UK
