The Digital Academic : Critical Perspectives on Digital Technologies in Higher Education, Hardback Book

The Digital Academic : Critical Perspectives on Digital Technologies in Higher Education Hardback

Edited by Deborah Lupton, Inger Mewburn, Pat (University of Nottingham, UK) Thomson

Hardback

Description

Academic work, like many other professional occupations, has increasingly become digitised.

This book brings together leading scholars who examine the impacts, possibilities, politics and drawbacks of working in the contemporary university, using digital technologies.

Contributors take a critical perspective in identifying the implications of digitisation for the future of higher education, academic publishing protocols and platforms and academic employment conditions, the ways in which academics engage in their everyday work and as public scholars and relationships with students and other academics.

The book includes accounts of using digital media and technologies as part of academic practice across teaching, research administration and scholarship endeavours, as well as theoretical perspectives.

The contributors span the spectrum of early to established career academics and are based in education, research administration, sociology, digital humanities, media and communication.
