Versions of Academic Freedom by Stanley Fish
Analyzes various arguments for the value of academic freedom: Is academic freedom a contribution to society's common good? Does it authorize professors to critique the status quo, both inside and outside the university? Does it license and even require the overturning of all received ideas and policies? Is it an engine of revolution?
Fish's pieces on higher education and American culture circulate perhaps more than anyone else's in academe... Nobody else has slid in and out of controversy and dispute so often, nor has anyone proven so willing and able to combat conservatives and (sometimes) liberals in academic forums and nationwide media alike. Think of major debates inliterary and cultural studies, and Fish is there. (Chronicle of Higher Educotion)
