Hawkins, R and L. Kern (2024). Higher Expectations: How to Survive Academia, Make it Betther for Others and Transform the University. Between the Lines Books. Toronto

This is a practical guide designed for faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other scholars navigating academia and seeking a university experience that encompasses collaboration, care, equity, justice, and multiple knowledges. Drawing on real-world, international examples where people and institutions are already doing things in new ways, Higher Expectations offers concrete advice on how to make these transformations real. It covers many areas of academic life including course design, conferencing, administration, research teams, managing workloads and more. The sections that build on themes from the chapter, Building Critical Development Research Skills through Co-Learning, Trial and Error, are: Build classroom community; Try ungrading; Disruptive pedagogy; and Rethink course design.
