Life for the Academic in the Neoliberal University investigates the
impact of neoliberalism on academics in today's universities.
Considering the experiences of early career researchers as well as
more experienced academics, it outlines the changing nature of
working life in the university precipitated by the reality of
de-professionalisation, worsening conditions of employment, and
general precarious existence. The book traces the dramatic shift in
the role and function of universities and academics over the last
forty years. It considers how capitalist neoliberalism drives
universities to operate like businesses in a cut-throat
financialised education market place. Uniquely the book then
provides a possible alternative in the form of the National
Education Service (NES) and what this alternative system could look
like. Thought-provoking and relevant, this book will be of use to
postgraduate students as well as new, emerging, and established
academics interested in the current state of higher education,
academic life, and possibilities for the future.
