Abstract
The ferment of ideas which developed around co-operation and higher education in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries helps to contextualise the current initiatives in Co-operative higher education. The consumer co-operative movement became a major economic and social presence in the UK and, in many respects, it was an educational movement. The early ideas for what became the Co-operative College developed slowly on the ground. Nevertheless, significant visions of the transformation of higher learning were generated within the co-operative movement from its inception in the early-nineteenth century. These ideas were part of a growing educational shift concerned with access to learning for everyone. In addition, the co-operative movement highlighted the equal need for both liberal and technical education and so traversed prevailing educational divisions. The tensions and dilemmas involved in building a co-operative university are critically assessed within a historical context.
