Universities and Academic Labour in Times of Digitalisation and Precarisation

English

By (author): Thomas Allmer

This book provides a critical perspective on the digitalisation of universities and precarisation of academic labour.

While research and teaching become more virtual and digital at universities, academic labour is becoming more and more casualised and temporary. This book aims to analyse and theorise academic labour and study the experiences academic workers have made at universities that are shaped by economic, political and cultural contexts.

It will be a valuable tool for international scholars and students of subjects such as media, communication and cultural studies, sociology, education, management and labour studies. The insights will also be of particular relevance for unions and other initiatives that are concerned about the working conditions at universities.
