This special issue focuses on the dichotomy of the sacred and profane within higher education. It explores how these terms serve as conceptual lenses for the critical examination of the evolution of discourses, practices, and their foundational values. By employing the metaphors of ‘sacred’ and ‘profane’ to present these fluctuating values and power relations, the contributions in this collection challenge readers to contemplate the intricate fabric of higher education and to examine the symbolic and transformative forces that contour its landscape.
