商品描述
This book offers a unique grounded analysis of recent crises and transformations in academic work. It charts international and Australia-based efforts to overcome academic fragmentation and precarity, and to advance agendas for the public university. It is based on extensive qualitative interviews with academics and managers across several universities in Australia. It finds new grounds for 'universal' universities, with decent jobs, to serve the public good. The book is aimed at students and scholars from sociology, education, politics and industrial relations, and a wider readership concerned about the future of universities. Analysis centres on a trade union-led initiative in Australia aimed at decasualising universities, and ensuing debates about the impact of academic fragmentation. The authors argue for strengthening the teaching/research nexus as the foundation-stone for public purpose universities.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了一個獨特的基礎分析,探討近期學術工作中的危機與變革。它描繪了國際及澳洲的努力,旨在克服學術的分散與不穩定,並推進公立大學的議程。本書基於對澳洲多所大學的學者與管理者進行的廣泛質性訪談。研究發現了「普遍」大學的新基礎,這些大學提供體面的工作,以服務公共利益。本書的目標讀者包括社會學、教育、政治及勞動關係的學生與學者,以及關心大學未來的更廣泛讀者群。分析重點集中在澳洲一個由工會主導的倡議,旨在消除大學的臨時性工作,並隨之而來的關於學術分散影響的辯論。作者主張應加強教學與研究的聯繫,作為公立大學的基石。
