- Description
- Utilizing the philosophical frameworks of Hannah Arendt and Pierre Bourdieu, Dr. Lange explores academic freedom not just as a legal right, but as a "political, public and plural exercise of thinking." She critiques the "instrumentalisation" of research and teaching by market forces and suggests that the university’s true autonomy resides in the critical capability of its academics to objectify their own practices and offer counter-narratives to the prevailing political economy of innovation.
