{"product_id":"through-a-glass-darkly-margaret-thornton-9781925022131","title":"Through a Glass Darkly: The Social Sciences Look at the Neoliberal University","description":"This collection of essays arose from a workshop held in Canberra in 2013 under the auspices of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia to consider the impact of the encroachment of the market on public universities. While the UK tripled fees in 2013 and determined that the teaching of the social sciences and the humanities would no longer be publicly funded, it was feared that Australia would go further and deregulate fees altogether. In the best tradition of the social sciences, the contributors have assumed the role of critic and conscience of society to present penetrating analyses of the ramifications of the corporatisation of the university as neoliberalism continues to occupy the ascendant position in the political firmament. The dramatis personae in these analyses are students, academics, managers and political mandarins with the gendered character of corporatisation an important sub-theme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Thornton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925022137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925022131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anu Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.84h x 6.93w x 0.98d","brand":"Margaret Thornton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445881942271,"sku":"9781925022131","price":26.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60991a55-211e-469e-a9e2-fd00360283e9.jpg?v=1777221271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/through-a-glass-darkly-margaret-thornton-9781925022131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
