Description
The modern university: a force for control rather than liberation. Sinéad Murphy argues that our institutions of higher education have become a key part of the system that keeps us down, rather than helping us to rise up. Murphy contends that the neoliberal university has created a culture of conformity and complacency, where critical thinking is discouraged and dissenting voices are silenced. This book presents a provocative challenge to the status quo, asking us to consider whether our universities are truly serving the interests of their students or perpetuating a system of control. By examining the ways in which higher education institutions shape our societies, Murphy offers a scathing critique of the modern university and its role in maintaining the power structures that govern our lives.
