Autoethnographies from the Neoliberal Academy is a supremely timely book on how to work in and against neoliberal universities from within the academy. Utilising radical dazzling story-telling techniques across a variety of media to problematise conventional academic discourses, this book points the way for future academic writing and knowledge as modally and spatially liberatory - more impactful and more relevant than conventional academic discourse - story-telling should be the twenty-first century’s version of the ‘Idea of the University’.
