(De)colonizing my academic self : Manifesting a dream of transformative education in Murter, Croatia

In service of addressing contemporary global challenges of environmental, social and economic crisis, in this chapter I critically deconstruct the ideology of institutional higher education thru my own academic experience. I describe how I have increasingly become disillusioned with rigid academic structures, its power games and its alienation from the problems of the ‘real’ world. In this line, then I present possibilities how transformative learning can assist in facilitating ecological resilience, social well-being, and development of human potential. I bring the case study of Croatia and explain how transformative education and conscious tourism can contribute to sustainability of our islands.
