The Transformation of Academic Work : Fractured Futures? Hardback
by James Goodman, Claire Parfitt, Keiko Yasukawa
Part of the Palgrave Critical University Studies series
Hardback
Description
This book offers a unique grounded analysis of recent crises and transformations in academic work.
It charts international and Australia-based efforts to overcome academic fragmentation and precarity, and to advance agendas for the public university.
It is based on extensive qualitative interviews with academics and managers across several universities in Australia.
It finds new grounds for ‘universal’ universities, with decent jobs, to serve the public good.
The book is aimed at students and scholars from sociology, education, politics and industrial relations, and a wider readership concerned about the future of universities.
Analysis centres on a trade union-led initiative in Australia aimed at decasualising universities, and ensuing debates about the impact of academic fragmentation.
The authors argue for strengthening the teaching/research nexus as the foundation-stone for public purpose universities.
