This edited volume focuses on the cultural production of knowledge
in the academy as mediated or presented through film and
television. This focus invites scrutiny of how the academy itself
is viewed in popular culture from The Chair to Terry Pratchett's
‘Unseen University’ and Doctor Who's Time Lord Academy
among others. Spanning a number of genres and key film and
television series, the volume is also inherently interdisciplinary
with perspectives from History, Cultural Studies, Gender Studies,
STEM, and more. This collection brings together leading
experts in different disciplines and from different national
backgrounds. It emphasises that even at a point of mass, global
participation in higher education, the academy is still largely
mediated by popular culture and understood through the tropes
perpetuated via a multimedia landscape.
