Once, scholars demanded academic freedom to critique existing knowledge and to pursue new truths. Today, while fondness for the rhetoric of academic freedom remains, it is increasingly criticised as an outdated and elitist concept by students and lecturers alike and called into question by a number of political and intellectual trends such as feminism, critical theory and identity politics. This provocative and compelling book traces the demise of academic freedom within the context of changing ideas about the purpose of the university and the nature of knowledge. The book argues that a challenge to this culture of conformity and censorship and a defence of academic free speech are needed for critique to be possible and for the intellectual project of evaluating existing knowledge and proposing new knowledge to be meaningful. This book is that challenge and a passionate call to arms for the power of academic thought today.Palgrave Critical University Studies,2662-7337Education, HigherEducation and stateEducational sociologySchool management and organizationSchool management and organizationPolitical scienceHigher EducationEducation PolicySociology of EducationOrganization and LeadershipPolitical ScienceEducation, Higher.Education and state.Educational sociology.School management and organization.School management and organization.Political science.Higher Education.Education Policy.Sociology of Education.Organization and Leadership.Political Science.340Williams Joannaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut640514BOOK9910254975803321Academic Freedom in an Age of Conformity2511989UNINA
