Description & Coverage
Description:

Throughout history, student activism and citizenship remain an integral part of the governance of academic institutions, democratizing the learning environment and advancing democratic values and societal change. Thus, student activism has grown to be a key aspect of the global higher education landscape. Individually and through the student councils, students have been at the forefront fighting for social justice and equality, inside their academic institutions and in larger society by fusing activism with citizenship. Student activism includes organizing protests, boycotts, rallies, sit-ins, petitions, and other types of campaigning to address socio-economic, political-governance issues, academic, health, housing and general welfare related issues. Students exercise their citizenship through activism using formal and non-institutionalized modes of communication and engagement. Through student activism and citizenship, students demonstrate their power to keep governments responsible and in redirecting the voices of students in higher education's decision-making processes. Evidently, student activism affords students the opportunity to influence social change and society's destiny by partaking in educational policy reforms and broader global sociopolitical and economic growth. Student activism and citizenship are ingrained in student politics and struggles which encompass their involvement in academic institutions' political life, governance, and decision-making processes. Student leadership engages university-society stakeholders including management and governance structures as well as students for academic and their general welfare and institutional policy reformation in defense of the rights and interests of students. This edited book aims to interrogate the dynamics of campus politics and struggles through student activism and citizenship by inviting academics, practitioners and policy makes in academia, public, private and civil society sectors.
