The Transformation of Academic Work: Facts and Analysis. Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.4.07
Musselin, Christine
Center for Studies in Higher Education
This paper outlines the main changes that have effected a transformation in the nature of academic work: on the one hand, the increasing diversification and specialisation of academic tasks, and on the other, new forms of control over academic work. An analysis of these trends leads to a discussion of the relationships between the evolution of academic work and non-academic work. (Contains 7 notes.)
