The Peruvian University: New Models Arising from the Post-Pandemic Uncertainty?
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic put a double challenge on Peruvian universities’ agenda: on the one hand, rethinking their material processes based on the online experience and, on the other hand, deconstructing the instrumentalization of teaching practices to dialogue, in the context of uncertainty and digital gaps. This chapter contextualises the Peruvian University in a trajectory of crisis exacerbated in the last 30 years. The emerging standardization discourses and models are thus nurtured by various factors that should be discussed. Of them, the lack of a dialogic and critical model, the exhausting weight of administrative and teaching burdens to the detriment of research, the absence of a transformative praxis that allows students and professors to focus on projects committed to the community and the environment, and the digital gaps in the country are the primary concerns. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Steve Gennaro, Nolan Higdon and Michael Hoechsmann; individual chapters, the contributors.
