12 Rules for (Academic) Life - Tara Brabazon Gebunden

These are strange times. Climate crises. Health crises. Collapsing systems. Influencers. And yes - Jordan Peterson.We are currently living in a (Post) Peterson Paradigm. This book - 12 Rules for (Academic) Life - explores what has happened to teaching learning and politics through this odd and chaotic intervention. Deploying feminism this lens and theory offers a glass-sharpened view of this moment in international higher education. It is organized through twelve mantras for higher education in this interregnum and offers new radical edgy and passionate methodologies epistemologies and o ntologies for a University sector searching for a purpose. This is a feminist book which targets a feminist audience both inside and outside higher education. It presents a clear focus on how this Peterson moment can be managed and challenged when in future such academics deploy social media in this way. This book is also a part of higher education studies exploring the role of the public critical dissenting organic intellectual in debates about the political economy identity politics and leadership.A question of our time - through a climate emergency a pandemic and polarized politics - is why Professor Jordan Peterson gained profile and notoriety. The Jordan Peterson moment commenced in September 2016 with his YouTube video Professor against political correctness and concluded with his debate with Slavoj Zizek on April 19 2019. From this moment his credibility was dented if not destroyed.Jordan Peterson infused scholarly debates with Punch and Judy extremism and misunderstandings. Instead this book offers research rather than certainty interpretation rather than dogma evidence rather than opinion and theory rather than 'moral truth.' The goal is to recalibrate this (Post) Peterson Paradigm to take stock of how this moment occurred and how to create a revision of higher education.
