Description

Office Hours: Activism and Change in the Academy offers a series of stinging analyses regarding the current state of higher education. This book examines the challenges facing the modern university and provides a practical, roll-up-your-sleeves look at the avoidable disasters threatening academic institutions today. Beyond identifying problems, the volume looks toward the future. The second half of the book presents alternative visions for the academy. These include ideas for academic organization, public outreach through the internet, faculty unionization, and campus organizing. As noted by Bruce Robbins, Professor of English, this work is straightforward, unpretentious, and immensely readable. It addresses matters of extreme urgency for a wide readership interested in the sociology of education and the future of academic life.
