By releasing āthe academicā from the restrictive narrow boundaries typically imposed Representations of the Academic opens up a form of public sphere where the contributors bring together their innovative views to propose a new normative form. Chapters explore examples of good practice that demonstrate alternative ways of thinking and in doing so the book continues an emergent tradition of investigating the origins nature and purposes of academic work at a time when critical values are under threat. The book will be of interest to students academics and researchers in the fields of education educational research and higher and professional education more broadly.
