Academic Work / John Smyth
Title : Academic Work Original title : The Changing Labour Process in Higher Education Material Type: printed text Authors: John Smyth, Editor ; Simon Marginson, Author ; Henry Miller, Author ; Howard Buchbinder, Author ; P. Rajogopal, Author Publisher: Open University Press Publication Date: 1995 Other publisher: Society for Research into Higher Education ISBN (or other code): AcaSmy1995 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Academic Labour Keywords: Academic Labour, Corporatism, Control, Neoliberalism, Academy, University, Pedagogy, Teaching, Teachers Abstract: "What is happening to the work of academics worldwide? This book calls in the evidence (and the arguments) internationally on the way in which academic labour is being reconstructed, transformed, and reorganized in response to the global restructuring of capitalism. What is occurring is that not only are new sets of social relationships being forged in the workplace of academia, but new and complex paradoxes, dilemmas and contradictions are emerging. In all of this it is clear that there has been a major shift from indirect forms of control, to more ideological forms that work through the discourse of the corporatist notions of quality, excellence, outputs, efficiency, and effectiveness."

Activism and Community Organizing
Education and PedagogyAbstract: This text argues that the ignorance and lethargy of the poor are the direct result of the whole economic, social and political domination. The book suggests that in some countries the oppressors use the system to maintain a 'culture of silence'. Through the right kind of education, the book suggests, avoiding authoritarian teacher-pupil models and based on the actual experiences of students and on continual shared investigation, every human being, no matter how impoverished or illiterate, can develop a new awareness of self, and the right to be heard.
