Beschreibung:
What does it mean to be an academic today? What kinds of experiences do students have, and how are they affected by what they learn? Why do so many students and their teachers feel like frauds? Can we learn to teach and research in ways that foster hope and deflate pretension? Academic Life and Labour in the New University: Hope and Other Choices addresses these big questions, discussing the challenges of teaching and researching in the contemporary university, the purpose of research and its fundamental value, and the role of the academy against the background of major changes to nature of the university itself.
Contents: Introduction: private feelings, public contexts; The big shifts: massification, marketization and their consequences; The wellbeing of academics in the palimpsestic university; Pluralism and its discontents: teaching critical theory and the politics of hope; The idleness of academics: hopeful reflections on the usefulness of cultural studies; Feeling like a fraud: or, the upside of knowing you can never be good enough; Conclusion; Bibliography; Appendix; Index.
