Dark Academia. How Universities Die

Peter Fleming (2021) Pluto Press

Abstract

Dark academia’s declared purpose is a description and explanation of the hidden psychological injuries endured by students and academics in contemporary universities. To state it clearly right at the beginning of this review, this is an excellent and important book that I strongly recommend to all stakeholders in higher education, including students. Its author Peter Fleming is a professor at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Business School whose previous academic output has focused on the future of work and its ethical implications.
