商品簡介
Fitzgerald (educational leadership and management), Julie White (education, both La Trobe U., Australia), and Helen M. Gunter (educational policy, U. of Manchester, Britain) respond to a period of intense turmoil and change in higher education in Australia and England by initiating a dialogue on what it means to be an academic and engage in academic work in the 21st century. Each has chosen a theme through which to examine the changes, tensions, and uncertainties. Among their topics are intellectual work and knowledge production, academic work and performance, and ivory basements and ivory towers. There is no index.
