Abolish the University: Build the Sanctuary Campus

Abstract

The premise of this position paper, which is meant as a provocation, a lure to thought, originates in work that I have recently completed as a member of the McMaster University Teaching and Learning Advisory Board and of the McMaster University Okanagan Mental Health & Well-being Task Force Workplace and Educational Environment Sub-Committee, the latter chaired by Dr. Catharine Munn and Ms. Lynn Armstrong. I am grateful to Dr. Munn and Ms. Armstrong for inviting me to write the paper.
