How Do You Manage Tensions in Higher Education?

I had the great pleasure of studying strategic foresight across two programs here in Australia, so the Sunshine Coast University and also Swinburne University. What I found so different about these programs is that educators could hold on to two opposing missions almost teaching both job readiness and how to shape a society we would like to live in. From what I can hear, it sounds like you also experienced this tension too when you mentioned that you were teaching 21st century skills that were mostly about job readiness rather than equipping students for post normal times. So I took a shot and dove right in and life has been very different ever since.
