Academic Keywords : A Devil's Dictionary for Higher Education Paperback / softback
by Cary Nelson, Stephen Watt
Paperback / softback
Description
Know what academic freedom is? Or what it's come to mean? What's affirmative about affirmative action these days?
Think you're up on the problem of sexual harassment on campus? Or know how much the university depends on part-time faculty?
Academic Keywords is a witty, informed, and sometimes merciless assessment of today's campus, an increasingly corporatized institution that may have bitten off more than its administration is ready to chew.
Cary Nelson and Steve Watt use the format of a dictionary to present stories and reflections on some of the most pressing issues affecting higher education in America.
From the haphazard treatment of graduate students to the use and abuse of faculty (as well as abuses commited by faculty), Nelson and Watt present a compelling and, at times, enraging report on the state of the campus.
