'Fleming's books are sparklingly sardonic and hilariously angry' -
Guardian There is a strong link between the neoliberalisation of
higher education over the last 20 years and the psychological hell
now endured by its staff and students. While academia was once
thought of as the best job in the world - one that fosters
autonomy, craft, intrinsic job satisfaction and vocational zeal -
you would be hard-pressed to find a lecturer who believes that now.
Peter Fleming delves into this new metrics-obsessed, overly
hierarchical world to bring out the hidden underbelly of the
neoliberal university. He examines commercialisation, mental
illness and self-harm, the rise of managerialism, students as
consumers and evaluators, and the competitive individualism which
casts a dark sheen of alienation over departments. Arguing that
time has almost run out to reverse this decline, this book shows
how academics and students need to act now if they are to begin to
fix this broken system.
