Towards Teaching in Public–edited by Mike Neary, Howard Stevenson, and Les Bell–explores how the contested relationships between policy, curriculum, and pedagogy are reshaping the modern university and examines the impact of conceptualizations of teaching in public on this debate in this age of academic capitalism. It traces the emergence of strategies for open access, with particular reference to the contribution of technology and e-learning, to the emergence of teaching in public as a critique of current educational policy. The contributors combine policy analysis with a consideration of pedagogical issues and an exploration of the student experience.
