Higher education institutions around the globe are facing complex
issues that disrupt the usual roles and purposes of centres of
learning and research. Forces such as globalisation, burgeoning
knowledge-based economies, rapid adoption of new technology, and
global competition are changing the work and lived experiences of
academics across the globe. This book addresses the unprecedented
effects of these global pressures, including the COVID-19 pandemic,
on university work and the resulting opportunity for innovative
disruption. It presents the voices of 16 Australian university
academics, framed by standpoint theory, which provide a unique
perspective and insights into the rapid shifts impacting
universities and how these affect academics' work lives. The
stories uncover cases of disappointment and frustration, bullying
and morale loss, alongside positive change and the awareness of the
need to change expectations. This work informs the development of
the Academic Predicament Model (APM), which points to the erosion
of academic professionalism and identifies how such change in
university work consequently de-professionalises academia in
Australia. The long-term effect is to challenge the place and
function of higher education institutions. The need for
transformation, and potential for its outcomes, has never been
greater, nor has the risk that the elements of the Academic
Predicament Model will be amplified, causing the
de-professionalising of academia to be further accelerated. This
book will be of interest to researchers in higher education
exploring neoliberalism and its impact on education and academics'
work.
