Using a highly original structure and style, the book considers the damaging impact of neoliberalism on conferences, and academia more widely, and explores the numerous barriers to conference attendance. It will be of interest to students and researchers who attend conferences in fields spanning the social sciences, as well as those interested in the effects of neoliberalism on academia. Dr Donald J Nicolson worked in academic research for 13 years and was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow. He is currently a freelance writer. His works have been published in the likes of the British Medical Journal, Health Technology Assessment, The Cochrane Library, The Scotsman, and London School of Economics Impact Blog. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aSociology of Education 606 $aInstructional Psychology 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aEducational Philosophy 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aInstructional Psychology. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aEducational Philosophy. 676 $a306.43 700 $aNicolson$b Donald J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063819 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156308703321 996 $aAcademic Conferences as Neoliberal Commodities$92534904 997 $aUNINA
