Who is shaping the future of our universities? What role can we play? In this analysis of academic activism, Professor Cary Nelson demonstrates how academics and students can together play a key role in university reform.
Cary Nelson is Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and Vice-President of the American Association of University Professors. The co-author, with Stephen Watts, of the book Office Hours: Activism and Change in the Academy (2004), he has published widely on the cultural politics of higher education and on cultural studies. His numerous edited and co-authored works include Academic Keywords: A Devil's Dictionary For Higher Education (1999), Disciplinarity and Dissent in Cultural Studies (2002), Higher Education under Fire (1995), Cultural Studies (1992), and Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture (1989). He is also widely known for his scholarship on the poetry of the modern American left.
