Dirty Knowledge by Julia Schleck

"Dirty Knowledge provides a valuable account of academic freedom and the importance of faculty governance in the age of academic capitalism. . . Schleck emphasizes that academic freedom does not provide a unified public good but offers a forum for competing definitions of public good. . . . This is crucial reading for faculty and higher education administrators."—S. R. Fitzgerald, Choice
“In Dirty Knowledge Julia Schleck shows how the conflation of academic freedom with freedom of speech erodes the academic nature of academic freedom and serves the atomizing purposes of neoliberalism; she also shows how the casualization of the academic workforce undermines academic freedom altogether. This is one of the very few books on academic freedom that ties the concept to the economic conditions of the profession—and one of the very few books on neoliberalism in the university that treats ‘neoliberalism’ as a coherent body of belief rather than as an all-purpose epithet. Required reading for anyone interested in the future of academic freedom and the future of the academy.”—Michael Bérubé, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Literature at Pennsylvania State University
