Knowledge Monopolies : The Academisation of

This title focuses on 'academisation' -- the paradox whereby, as the general public becomes better educated to live and work with knowledge, the 'academy' increases its intellectual distance from the public, so that the nature of social and natural reality becomes more rather than less obscure.

Marten Shipman is a retired teacher and sociologist, formerly at the Universities of Keele, Warwick and Surrey (Roehampton) and Director of Research and Statistics in the Inner London Education Authority.
