Office Hours: Activism and Change in the Academy
Professor Cary Nelson
The C-SAP Annual Lecture 2005
5pm, 7th June, The Barber Institute, University of Birmingham
Cary Nelson offers a trenchant analysis of passivity in the face of the mounting political and economic pressure on Higher Education in the US and the UK. Offering challenging examples of academic activism that have reshaped disciplinary scholarly associations, teaching provision, and employment conditions, he suggests possible alternative futures.
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 Office Hours (2004), 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), as well as books on the poetry of the modern American left.
Lecture to be followed by reception and drinks. Free Admission. All welcome. Hosted by Sociology, Anthropology, Politics (C-SAP), part of the Higher Education Academy.
