LHA1849H
It has been argued that while much is known about research, teaching and governance in post-secondary education, little is known about the faculty who people these institutions. This course begins by examining issues of power visible in faculty careers with a particular focus on equity. Some of the topics that will be examined are labour relations, faculty-student relations, collegial arrangements, academic freedom, involvement in governance, knowledge production (research, publication, curriculum) and teaching and workload. The role of the intellectual from various theoretical perspectives will also be considered.
