Description
Dark Academia: How Universities Die by Peter Fleming The higher education system has undergone a profound shift over the last 20 years, with far-reaching consequences for its staff and students. Peter Fleming argues that the neo-liberalization of universities has led to a decline in academic autonomy, collegiality, and professional common sense. In this book, he shines a spotlight on the problems with the modern system and what's gone wrong. Fleming examines the impact of commercialization, managerialism, and the rise of students as consumers and evaluators. He also explores the effects of competitive individualism, which has cast a dark sheen of alienation over departments. With time running out to reverse this decline, Fleming makes a compelling case for change.
