Neoliberalism and Academic Repression: The Fall of Academic Freedom in the Era of Trump (Studies in Critical Social Sciences, 149)

xxiii, 218 pages : 24 cm. Summary:"Neoliberalism and Academic Repression: The Fall of Academic Freedom in the Era of Trump co-edited by Dr's Erik Juergensmeyer, Anthony J. Nocella II, and Mark Seis provides a theoretical examination of the current higher education system and explains how academia is being shaped into a corporate-factory-industrial-complex. This complex is transforming the relationships within and beyond the institution, transforming the mission of higher education from being the foundation of democracy to manager of professionalism. The outstanding contributors offer strategies of social change, policy suggestions, and important critiques of neoliberal practices. This timely collection challenges the neoliberal emphasis on valuation based on job readiness and outcome achievement-promoting equity, justice, and inclusivity in the process. Contributors include: Camila Bassi, Brad Benz, A. Peter Castro, Taine Duncan, Sarah Giragosian, Erik Juergensmeyer, Caroline K. Kaltefleiter, Peter Kirstein, Emil Marmol, Anthony J. Nocella II, Ben Ristow, JL Schatz, Mark Seis, Jeff Shantz, Kim Socha, Richard J. White".
