In Rethinking Academic Politics in (Re)Unified Germany andthe United States, Dr. John Weaver uses case studies to engage historical and contemporary issues in academic politics, arguing for the importance of this often-dismissed and much-bemoaned facet of academic work. Dr. Weaver's unique treatment includes discussions of such hotly debated issues as the Enola Gay exhibit, the science debates in the U.S., and the politics of academic evaluations and hiring practices. Rethinking Academic Politics in (Re)Unified Germany and the United States speaks to the interests of students and scholars of international and comparative education, higher education policy and practice, cultural studies, and science studies.
John A. Weaver has authored or edited five books including Popular Culture and Critical Pedagogy and Postmodern Science Education and has written for numerous journals including Comparative Education, Journal of Curriculum Theorizing, and Race, Gender, and Class. His research interests include Science Fiction, Science Education, Academic Politics, Popular Culture, the Holocaust, Information Technology, and Rap Music. He is currently a professor at the University of Akron
