Higher education and research are now at the centre of economic and
social policy in advanced information societies. Global networks of
researchers, finance, students and policymakers invoke
collaborative sociological perspectives. What it means to be an
academic and to work in a technologically advanced knowledge
industry has undergone transformations that cross national borders.
The future of knowledge production, social development, prosperity
and the freedom of ideas are caught in the swelling of global
tides. The Social Structures of Global Academia exposes readers to
a variety of issues that are impacting academics across the globe.
The volume includes contributions by leading social scientists and
innovative research from emerging scholars. Its anchoring themes
include academic ethics, the affective cultures of scholarship,
changing funding structures and social control of the currents of
scholarly life. Giving readers an overview of the growing field of
critical studies of academia, The Social Structures of Global
Academia will appeal to students and scholars seeking to understand
more of the burgeoning field of critical sociologies of higher
education, and general readers interested in contemporary knowledge
about universities, science and the people who make it their
passion. It will also appeal to policymakers who are invested in
trying to make universities more viable places to work.
