It argues that universities have lost their way, and are currently drowning in an impenetrable mush of economic babble, spurious spin-offs of zombie economics, management-speak and militaristic-corporate jargon. John Smyth provides a trenchant and excoriating analysis of how universities have enveloped themselves in synthetic and meaningless marketing hype, and explains what this has done to academic work and the culture of universities – specifically, how it has degraded higher education and exacerbated social inequalities among both staff and students. Finally, the book explores how we might commence a reclamation. It should be essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of education and sociology, and anyone interested in the current state of universitymanagement. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | neoliberalism; higher education; university; academia; policy; elitism | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-54968-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-95833-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-54968-6Series ISSN 2662-7329 Series E-ISSN 2662-7337 | | issn_series | 2662-7329 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Limited, |
