Description

Explore the complexities of modern academia in Scaling the Ivory Tower: Merit and Its Limits in Academic Careers. Written by Lionel S. Lewis and published by Routledge, this book follows the tradition of Thorstein Veblen's Higher Learning in America. Lewis provides evidence-based insights into the factors that drive success within university settings. While the modern academic landscape often relies on the "publish or perish" rule, Lewis questions if research and publication are truly the most important considerations for career advancement. The text examines highly charged subjects including academic freedom, sexism, merit, and tenure. By analyzing the attitudes of university members toward academic qualification, Lewis offers a deep look into the institutional structures that shape professional paths. This book is an essential read for those interested in the reality of academic careers and the true meaning of merit in higher education.
