Academic Labour, Unemployment and Global Higher Education [electronic resource] : Neoliberal Policies of Funding and Management /
Gupta, Suman.editor.

Tutek, Hrvoje.editor.
Palgrave Critical Universities Studies Series Editor: John Smyth, University of Hudderfield, UK This book explores how the kinds of world-wide restructurings of higher education and research work that are underway today have not only increased employment insecurity in academia but may actually be producing unemployment both for those within academia and for graduate job-seekers in other sectors. Recent and current re-organisations of higher education and research work, and re-orientations of academic life (as students, researchers, teachers) generally, which are taking place around the world, achieve exactly the opposite of what they claim: though ostensibly undertaken to facilitate employment, these moves actually produce unemployment both for those within academia and for graduate job-seekers in other sectors.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
