Klappentext zu „Utopian Colleges “
Discouraged with the state of higher education in the United States, Dr. Constance Cappel visited over fifty institutions of higher education worldwide. Pooling from her experiences, Dr. Cappel described five examples of "utopian colleges," where she was ultimately either a student or an employee. The resulting study, Utopian Colleges , examines both the strengths and weaknesses of any human institution. Utopian Colleges gives both historical and contemporary insights into American higher education that are both experimental and progressive.

Pressezitat
"'Utopian Colleges' is a serious and important contribution to the history of progressive education." (Harold Taylor, Author and Educator)"Imagine educating people in the 'best' possible way - respecting the whole person, building on interests and abilities, strengthening responsibility for self and others, solving problems and preparing students to lead the improvement of the world! A few colleges have taken this challenge seriously, and Dr. Cappel tells us about them in this important book." (Judith Wood Spock, Educator and Trustee, Antioch University, Ohio)
"'Utopian Colleges' has focused on several colleges in the United States that have pioneered a number of innovative educational, social, and administrative procedures. This research has undoubtedly pointed the way for future scholars and practitioners in higher education." (Robert McAndrews, Core Graduate Faculty, The Union Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio)
