How do AI, biotechnology, and human-enhancement imaginaries reshape the purpose and practice of universities? This volume gathers global case studies and critical essays that examine curriculum redesign, assessment, quality assurance, and governance as higher education navigates automation, augmentation, and data-driven decision-making. Authors probe equity, academic integrity, privacy, and labour implications while offering actionable frameworks for policy, program evaluation, and ethical oversight. Readers will find practical tools—checklists, decision rubrics, and scenario maps—alongside reflective analyses of institutional change. Written in clear, accessible language, the book is designed for university leaders, accreditation and quality assurance professionals, policy-makers, faculty, and edtech teams who must balance innovation with responsibility. The result is a balanced, field-tested companion for designing future-ready programs that remain grounded in academic values and public trust.
Transgender Children and Young People
This collection approaches the current theory and practice of transgendering children. Essays are written against the grain of the popularised medical definition of ‘the transgender child’ as a young person whose ‘true’ gender lies in the brain, or pre-social ‘identity’.
