Transformation and Generosity: Kathleen Fitzpatrick

Kathleen Fitzpatrick, author of Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University, imagines that higher education can innovate for change in ways that allow campuses and communities to flourish. Throughout our conversation, we explore the benefits of public facing scholarship, digital literacy, and discovering new ways for educators, students, and community members to learn and collaborate. Education, as a calling, is a “generous practice” that can be filled with joy when we work to think with others. Vocation, then, invites us to think about the virtues and values we want to see in our work, and about our willingness to transform.
