13 years and six continents later, David sat down and captured what he had learned about higher educational change-making practice in the new book, A Field Manual for A Whole New Education: Rebooting Higher Education for Human Connection and Insight in a Digital World (Goldberg, 2023).
This webinar takes a continent-by-continent tour of some of the biggest lessons of this journey by
(1) articulating one key lesson per continent,
(2) recounting a key story associated with the lesson, and
(3) discussing a tool, mindset shift, or process improvement that can help realize practical change back home.
The webinar concludes by challenging participants to reflect on which lessons are most relevant to their experiences and school.
