Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - At a time when universities are being defunded by governments and vilified by ultra-conservative pundits, defining their value has never been more urgent For decades, efforts to quantify the value of universities in dollars and cents led to the corporatization of institutions that are meant to serve their students and society by creating knowledge and teaching--not by turning a profit. Now more than ever, the role of the university in advancing discovery, democracy, equity, and in contributing to its students' success is under siege and needs to be defended.

Lincoln, and others delve into the effects of colonialism, neoliberalism, and audit culture on higher education. They present promising avenues of resistance and show how to shape, reinvent, and construct life for faculty in institutions that serve as both a safe harbour and enforcer.…
