This work explores in detail how innovative academic activism can
transform our everyday workplaces in contexts of considerable
adversity. Personal essays by prominent scholars provide critical
reflections on their institution-building triumphs and setbacks
across a range of cultural institutions. Often adopting narrative
approaches, the contributors examine how effective programs and
activities are built in varying local and national contexts within
a common global regime of university management policy. Here they
share experiences based on developing new undergraduate degrees,
setting up research centers and postgraduate schools, editing
field-shaping book series and journals, establishing international
artist-in-residence programs, and founding social activist
networks.
This book also investigates the impact of managerialism,
marketization, and globalization on university cultures, asking
what critical cultural scholarship can do in such increasingly
adversarial conditions. Experiments in Asian universities are
emphasized as exemplary of what can or could be achieved in other
contexts of globalized university policy.
