Abstract

We continue to witness the inability of the neoliberal marketisation of universities to meet the epistemological needs of both students and wider society. This epistemological crisis been amplified by the pandemic, leading to calls for complex problem solving, critical thinking and creativity that might usefully contribute to messy, global problems. Pushing beyond formulaic compulsory education, a post-pandemic University needs to support a conscious and supported unsettling, which enables more meaningful transitions between university life and the work that lies beyond.
