Everything transforms. The landscapes we think are immutable, the convictions we mistakenly think are unshakeable. In the world of higher education, as elsewhere, nothing is completely lost, much is created, and everything is in constant flux.

Change is a constant. No one can escape it. Everyone approaches it differently.

There's the change we want, and the change we're forced to make.

The change that unites and the change that divides.

The change that is useful and the change that is useless.

The change that is too fast and offends our sensibilities.

The change that, on the contrary, is urgent but treads water.

And finally, there's the most powerful change of all, the change that pushes us to learn, unlearn and relearn (Alvin Toffler, 1970) and makes us lifelong learners.

This call for contributions invites people from the world of higher education to reflect on their relationship with change and to submit an article to the Pédagogie collégiale journal to enrich the thematic issue—When Everything Transforms—to be published in spring/summer 2024. The intention is to take a plural, cross-disciplinary look at the transformations underway, desirable and/or necessary within the college network. The idea of the thematic issue is to combine in-depth reflections, inspiring practices, illuminating ideas and views from a variety of epistemological and disciplinary perspectives.
