Academic freedom is once again at the epicenter of the crisis in higher education. A community college instructor in Iowa is pressured to resign after his pro-antifa social media comments garner vicious harassment that administrators find threatening to campus safety. A tenured biology professor at a college on Long Island is threatened with dismissal because she allegedly grades students too strictly. And in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a conservative activist calls on his followers to take advantage of online classes to send \"any and all videos of blatant indoctrination\" to his organization so that it might expose and blacklist \"leftist professors.\"   These incidents from the 2019–20 academic year represent only the tip of the iceberg. Academic freedom, long heralded as a core value of American higher education, may now be in as much danger as at any time since the 1950s. But what is \"academic freedom\"? A value upheld for one's supporters (but not one's opponents) when discussing a polarizing controversy? Or a narrow claim of privilege by a professorial elite, immune from public accountability?  In this concise and compelling book, Henry Reichman, who chaired the American Association of University Professors' Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure for nearly a decade, mounts a rigorous defense of academic freedom and its principal means of protection: the system of academic tenure. Probing academic freedom's role in multiple contexts, Reichman draws on a wealth of historical and contemporary examples to offer the first comprehensive introduction to the concept in all its manifestations. Elucidating its sometimes complicated meanings, Reichman argues that academic freedom—like its cousin, freedom of speech—cannot easily be defined but, instead, emerges from the contextual application of guiding principles developed and modified over time. He also explores why the rise of contingent faculty employment represents the gravest current threat to academic freedom; reveals how academic freedom is complicated by both fiercely polarized campus environments and the emergence of social media that extend speech beyond the lecture halls of the academy; and touches on the rights of students in and out of class, including treatment of student protest movements.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50135573332241,"sku":"CIN1421442159VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1421442159.jpg?v=1751018816"},{"product_id":"understanding-academic-freedom-book-henry-reichman-9781421450940","title":"Understanding Academic Freedom","description":"In the evolving landscape of academic freedom in America, this second edition addresses the latest challenges and developments in the field.  Since the publication of the first edition of Understanding Academic Freedom, the never-ending struggle to defend academic freedom has entered a demonstrably new phase. Legislation determining what can and cannot be taught in schools in Florida, Texas, and other states has intensified governing board activism that impinges on widely accepted faculty prerogatives. Major donors in research, teaching, and institutional governance have grown bold in their interference. Highly polarizing controversies over antisemitism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as debates over diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, continue to broil.   Taken as a whole, these developments indicate that we have entered a new period in the history of American academic freedom. Academic freedom, long heralded as a core value of American higher education, may now be in as much danger as at any time since the 1950s. But what is academic freedom? Is it the right of faculty members to teach whatever they wish; a value upheld for supporters, but not opponents, amid polarizing controversy; or a narrow claim of privilege by a professorial elite, immune from public accountability? Henry Reichman, who chaired the American Association of University Professors' Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure for nearly a decade, mounts a rigorous defense of academic freedom and its principal means of protection: the system of academic tenure.   Probing academic freedom's role in multiple contexts, Reichman draws on a wealth of historical and contemporary examples to offer a comprehensive introduction to the concept in all its manifestations. This second edition addresses the most recent and pressing issues in academic freedom, making it an indispensable resource for understanding the current controversial climate.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201911947537,"sku":"NGR9781421450940","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51311413166353,"sku":"NIN9781421450940","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1421450941.jpg?v=1766659395"},{"product_id":"future-of-academic-freedom-book-henry-reichman-9781421428581","title":"The Future of Academic Freedom","description":"The issues Reichman considers-which are the subjects of daily conversation on college and university campuses nationwide as well as in the media-will fascinate general readers, students, and scholars alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51746035925265,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51746036089105,"sku":"CIN142142858XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53370846773521,"sku":"CIN142142858XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781421428581.jpg?v=1750961731"},{"product_id":"railwaymen-and-revolution-book-henry-reichman-9780520364752","title":"Railwaymen and Revolution","description":"Railwaymen and Revolution: Russia, 1905 provides a deep and meticulously researched exploration of the role that railroad workers played in shaping one of the most transformative moments in Russian revolutionary history. More than a simple prelude to the October Revolution of 1917, the events of 1905 fundamentally redefined class struggle, social consciousness, and the relationship between workers and the broader revolutionary movement. This book situates railway workers within the broader context of Russia’s rapidly industrializing landscape, revealing how their unique position—both economically and geographically—made them central to the strike movements that characterized the revolution. As a workforce spanning across vast stretches of the empire, railroad laborers served as both a conduit for revolutionary ideas and a formidable force in their own right, shaping the dynamics of class consciousness in ways that extended beyond traditional factory settings.   Through a combination of historical analysis and political theory, the book examines how railway workers navigated the complex intersection of economic grievances, professional identity, and political struggle. The author highlights the conflicting pressures exerted by the managerial elite, liberal reformers, and socialist radicals, illustrating how these tensions played out within the labor movement itself. The study also challenges traditional interpretations of Russian labor history by demonstrating that class consciousness was not an inevitable byproduct of industrialization but rather a contested and evolving process. By focusing on the railroads, the book offers a fresh perspective on the 1905 revolution, making it an essential read for scholars of Russian history, labor studies, and revolutionary movements.
