Inside Academia: Professors, Politics, and Policies
Autor Steven M. Cahnen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2018
Drawing on decades of experience as a renowned teacher, advisor, administrator, and philosopher, Steven M. Cahn diagnoses problems plaguing America’s universities and offers his prescriptions for improvement. He explores numerous aspects of academic life, including the education of graduate students, the quality of teaching, the design of liberal arts curricula, and the procedures for appointing faculty and considering them for tenure.
Inside Academia uses real cases to illustrate how faculty members, deans, and provosts often do not serve the best interests of schools or students. Yet the book also highlights efforts of those who have committed themselves and their institutions to the pursuit of academic excellence.

Recenzii
“This will be a great book to read for anyone starting out in academia, and will be illuminating for people on the outside looking in. Funny, enlightening, and a very engaging read!”
"Written in a warm, engaging style, Inside Academia provides an 'inside' look at some highs and lows of the academy. Full of personal anecdotes that reflect the author’s long and distinguished career as well as arguments that are invariably well-supported, it is a pleasure to read."
