The Tragedy of Academia and the Vulgarities of HE Reform: Experience, Subjectivity and Moral Injury – Academic 2.0
This paper is a sequel to The I-spy Guide to the neoliberal university published in this journal in 2012 and identifies a set of issues/perturbations and the current landscape of ‘experience’ in contemporary Higher Education. It is a tale of human suffering, misfortune, the downfall of a noble protagonist, leading to a calamitous and unhappy ending and the rise of academic 2.0.
