    [synopsis] => Arts graduate education is uniquely positioned to deliver many of the public good needs of contemporary Canada. For the Public Good argues, however, that graduate programs must fundamentally change if they are to achieve this potential. Drawing on deep experience and research, the authors outline how reformed programs that equip graduates with advanced skills can address Canada's most vexing challenges and seek action on equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization. They chart how current approaches to graduate education emerged and make a data-informed case for change.  The authors then offer an evidence-based vision for reimagining arts graduate education and actor-specific steps to achieve this potential. This timely and optimistic guide will be of interest to faculty and university administrators who are responsible for graduate education and public policy specialists focused on post-secondary education. A vision for reforming arts graduate education to deliver many of Canada's public good needs. Tables, figures, appendices, index A vision for reforming Arts graduate education to deliver many of Canada's Public Good needs. "Authored by Canada's foremost experts on postgraduate career planning and professional development, For the Public Good addresses the challenges of the declining academic job market and aligns graduate education with the evolving Canadian labour market, offering pragmatic solutions and transformative visions." Rachel Berger, Associate Dean, School of Graduate Studies, Concordia University "This book is provocative enough, honest enough, and practical enough to do what it intends: that is, encourage hard conversations about the potential of graduate education in Arts disciplines, the remaking of programs to meet their potential, and the proposition that enrollment growth is always the solution, whatever the problem." Roger Epp, Interim Dean, Faculty of Graduate Studies & Research, University of Alberta "For the Public Good offers a practical blueprint to redefine success in Arts graduate education in Canada. Focused on essential skills and knowledge for solving complex problems, the book re-imagines the way we approach our master's and doctoral programs. The authors issue an important wake-up call to leaders throughout civil society-particularly in the public, private, and knowledge sectors-to re-think and expand what we expect from graduate studies." Jared Wesley, Professor and Associate Dean (Graduate Studies), University of Alberta
