After Copernicus: beyond the crisis in Australian universities

Sharrock, Geoff (National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU), 2007)

There’s a received view of the troubles of academia which lays the blame on a new corporate culture of soulless managerialism. Geoff Sharrock isn’t convinced. He argues that critical scholars are often ill-placed to be able to understand their own predicament. And many of the problems of the sector lie in its incapacity to adjust to the changed world of knowledge-creation in which we live.
Rethinking the Australian university: a critique of Off Course

Sharrock, Geoff (Taylor & Francis Australia, 2004)
