Reviews
“This astonishing and necessary book neatly dismantles discourses of transparency in contemporary education, and reflexively interrogates ostensibly radical responses to the various ways scholars in the university sector are monitored and undermined. Neil Cocks provides invaluable ammunition for those who really do want to defend academic space. His book is an argument for and exemplar of good critical textual practice.” (Ian Parker, Emeritus Professor of Management, University of Leicester, UK)
