SynopsisThis edited volume examines the relationship between knowledge normativity and power within practices of knowledge production across the social sciences and the humanities. Academia is approached as a space that is always already a part of the hegemonic normative order, yet one which does provide room for critique and resistance. In examining the relations between academia, activism and the arts, the contributions in this volume reflect upon the different ways that critique can be exercised from within and without academic spaces. Book jacket., Despite its capacity to produce knowledge that can directly influence policy and affect social change, academia is still often viewed as a stereotypical ivory tower, detached from the tumult of daily life. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia argues that, in our current moment of historic global unrest, the fruits of the academy need to be examined more closely than ever. This collection pinpoints the connections among researchers, activists, and artists, arguing that--despite what we might think--the knowledge produced in universities and the processes that ignite social transformation are inextricably intertwined. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia provides analysis from both inside and outside the academy to show how this seemingly staid locale can still provide space for critique and resistance.
