The Humanities, Higher Education, and Academic Freedom: Three Necessary Arguments

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 apr 2015

This book is a lively, passionate defence of contemporary work in the humanities, and, beyond that, of the university system that makes such work possible. The book's stark accounts of academic labour, and its proposals for reform of the tenure system, are novel, controversial, timely, and very necessary.

Recenzii

“Michael Bérubé and Jennifer Ruth’s The Humanities, Higher Education, and Academic Freedom: Three Necessary Arguments is a welcome addition to debates about how best to address the most significant threat to the profession: the casualization of the faculty.” (Maria Maisto and Seth Kahn, Academe, aaup.org, Vol. 102 (3), May-June, 2016)

Notă biografică

Caracteristici

This book is written by a high profile author team Punchy, readable and provocative - this is a debate that has raged fiercely for some time, and the authors adopt the controversial position that professors have been complicit in the gradual erosion of their own working conditions Of interest not only to humanities professors conversant with the authors' past writings, but also to social scientists (particularly education scholars)
