Title: Meetings of the mind
Description: "Comic in tone and serious in intent, Meetings of the Mind gives a portrait of academic life in the nineties. With campus populations and critical perspectives changing rapidly, academic debate needs to look beyond the old ideal of common purposes and communal agreement. How can we learn from people we won't end up agreeing with?" "This question is explored by four very different scholars, who meet and argue at a series of comparative literature conferences."--BOOK JACKET.
