An irreverent critical lexicon of academic life and culture

The university: The very name evokes knowledge, culture, and the magnificently universal ambition at the heart of this essential institution. Bastions of free inquiry and a free society, engines of social transformation and economic progress, enclosed gardens of ennobling reflection and creation, universities encompass the wisdom of the past and the hope of the future. Or do they?

This critical glossarywritten by a group of Princeton graduate students and facultydefines fifty-eight terms common to academic life in a style that will prick both egos and consciences. From academia to vocation, canon to peer review, discipline to methodology, the book scrutinizes the often stultifying structures of modern disciplinary life, calls out a slavish devotion to knowledge production as the enemy of thought, and even dissects the notion of academic excellence.

Feisty and darkly funny, passionate and deeply insightful, this book raises hard questions about teaching, research, theory, practice, and academic labor. The result is a must-read dispatch from todays academic trenchesone that is sure to provoke discussion and debate.
