Description for The Humanities, Higher Education, and Academic Freedom
Hardcover.
This book is a lively, passionate defence of contemporary work in the humanities, and, beyond that, of the university system that makes such work possible. The book's stark accounts of academic labour, and its proposals for reform of the tenure system, are novel, controversial, timely, and very necessary.

Reviews for The Humanities, Higher Education, and Academic Freedom
“Michael Bérubé and Jennifer Ruth’s The Humanities, Higher Education, and Academic Freedom: Three Necessary Arguments is a welcome addition to debates about how best to address the most significant threat to the profession: the casualization of the faculty.” (Maria Maisto and Seth Kahn, Academe, aaup.org, Vol. 102 (3), May-June, 2016)
