The Academic Caesar: SAGE Swifts

Autor Steve Fuller
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 oct 2016
Aimed directly at those who aspire to be university leaders in these turbulent times, and written as an academic counterpart to Machiavelli's The Prince, The Academic Caesar explores four themes that are central to the contemporary university:  its Caesar-leaders, its economics, its disciplines, and whether academics have a future in the universities.
Drawing on a wealth of experience writing about the social epistemology of higher education, Steve Fuller makes a witty, robust and provocative contribution to the ongoing debate about where the university has come from and where it is going.  
The Academic Caesar will prove a fascinating read for those seeking new insights into current crisis in higher education as well as researchers and academics interested in the sociology of leadership.

Recenzii

This is an enjoyable book. It is also an important one. Steve Fuller is willing to face the dilemmas of the modern university full on rather than fall back on the usual nostrums. You do not have to agree with him but you do have to take notice. That is a real achievement in a time when we desperately need new thinking on how to produce and transmit knowledge.

Notă biografică

Steve Fuller has been long writing about the social epistemology of higher education. At least since The Governance of Science (2000), he has treated the university as the principal site for social epistemological inquiry. This and two of his previous 21 books, Knowledge Management Foundations and The Sociology of Intellectual Life (published in Sage's Theory, Culture and Society series) deal quite explicitly with the university. However, this work would be aimed directly at those who aspire to be university leaders, based on writings and thinking done over the past decade. In that respect, it is like another book of his, The Intellectual, which was modelled on The Prince.

Descriere

An academic counterpart to Machiavelli’s The Prince, this is a witty and controversial examination of the current crisis in higher education
