Conclusion

Abstract

Keeping in mind that the future is a collective construction, which encompasses both the past and the present, and also takes our aspirations into account, that is, in Wallerstein’s words (1998), our “utopistics,” or our “viable unknowns,” Freire’s inéditos viáveis, we conclude with a synopsis of the challenges that will be posed to those in charge of designing future higher education policies, and specifically, those targeting universities.
