The need to uphold those values would seem obvious. Yet the university is presently under siege from all corners; workers are being exploited with paltry salaries for full-time work, politics and profit rather than intellectual freedom govern decision-making, and professors are being monitored for the topics they teach.No University Is an Island offers a comprehensive account of the social, political, and cultural forces undermining academic freedom. At once witty and devastating, it confronts these threats with exceptional frankness, then offers a prescription for higher education’s renewal. In an insider’s account of how the primary organization for faculty members nationwide has fought the culture wars, Cary Nelson, the current President of the American Association of University Professors, unveils struggles over governance and unionization and the increasing corporatization of higher education. Peppered throughout with previously unreported, and sometimes incendiary, higher education anecdotes, Nelson is at his flame-throwing best.The book calls on higher education’s advocates of both the Left and the Right to temper conviction with tolerance and focus on higher education’s real injustices. Nelson demands we stop denying teachers, student workers, and other employees a living wage and basic rights. He urges unions to take up the larger cause of justice. And he challenges his own and other academic organizations to embrace greater democracy.With broad and crucial implications for the future, No University Is an Island will be the benchmark against which we measure the current definitive struggle for academic freedom.Cultural front (Series)Education, HigherPhilosophyEducation, HigherPolitical aspectsUniversities and collegesPolitical aspectsAcademic freedomTeaching, Freedom ofIntellectual freedomPolitical correctnessElectronic books.Education, HigherPhilosophy.Education, HigherPolitical aspects.Universities and collegesPolitical aspects.Academic freedom.Teaching, Freedom of.Intellectual freedom.Political correctness.378.1/213Nelson Cary687870MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456563603321No university is an island2473859UNINA02941 am 2200685 n 450 9910634089903321202210062-7535-8756-610.4000/books.pur.185149(CKB)5680000000292632(FrMaCLE)OB-pur-185149(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/95273(PPN)267245432(EXLCZ)99568000000029263220221206j|||||||| ||| 0freuu||||||m||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierJean-Marie Mayeur Historien du catholicisme et de la laïcité /Étienne Fouilloux, Claude Langlois, André Encrevé, Jacques PrévotatRennes Presses universitaires de Rennes20221 online resource (336 p.) Histoire2-7535-8620-9 Jean-Marie Mayeur (1933-2013), spécialiste d’histoire politique et religieuse de la période contemporaine, fut une figure majeure de sa discipline. Professeur des universités de Saint-Étienne, Lyon, Créteil et Paris-Sorbonne, il laisse une œuvre considérable, dont seule l’histoire religieuse est ici prise en compte. Membre ou fondateur de groupes sur l’histoire religieuse contemporaine, il a dirigé de nombreuses thèses de doctorat sur le sujet. Ce recueil restitue les diverses facettes de l’activité de l’historien. Il souligne son rôle déterminant dans la structuration de l’histoire religieuse en France, en plus de son apport personnel à l’histoire de la démocratie chrétienne et de la laïcité.
