Universities serve several important functions in society today
through research, education, and community engagement, not
least helping people to live meaningfully in society and create a
world worth living in. A kind of practice that seems particularly
important in fulfilling such responsibilities is critical educational
praxis, a social-justice oriented, educational practice/praxis, with
a focus on asking critical questions and creating conditions for
positive change. Yet, the contemporary university is not exactly a
niche for critical educational praxis. There are practices and
arrangements within higher education that make the enactment
of critical educational praxis challenging. This paper explores this
concern by explicating the notion of critical educational praxis and
examining enablers and constraints for critical educational praxis
drawing on an empirical study conducted in one university setting.
Our aim is to prompt consideration of the kind of university
ecosystems currently being created, and the implications for academic communities and society.
