Publisher description
With rising student fees, a precarious and casualized workforce, and a reliance on arbitrary performance metrics, British universities are increasingly neoliberal market-driven spaces. Despite the decolonize movement on university campuses, it seems easier to imagine the university as the antithesis of, rather than as an agent of, social justice. This book shines a spotlight on the practice of anti-racist scholar-activism in the margins of universities in the United Kingdom. Raising troubling questions about the uncertain future of Higher Education in the UK, Joseph-Salisbury and Connelly highlights those academics who are working within, and often against their institutions. Through the first-hand accounts of academics who have sought to work against institutional racism, Joseph-Salisbury and Connelly argue that anti-racist scholar-activism not only reveals the challenges facing the contemporary university, but it has the potential to chart a way forward - towards racial justice. Another university is not only possible, but essential. --
