Description
Book SynopsisThis book asks: “what does it mean to be a responsible academic in a ‘northern’ university given the incarnate connections between the university’s operations and suffering elsewhere?” The author challenges himself and the reader to practice intellectual citizenship everywhere from the classroom to the university commons to the street.
Trade ReviewPeter Eglin’s remarkable study of issues of conscience and their relationship to topics in the social sciences is a rich resource for discussion and argument. Even those who may disagree with Eglin’s conclusions will, I believe, respect the cogency and lucidity of the presentation of his case. A truly thought-provoking contribution by a major participant in the fields of his expertise. Highly recommended. -- Jeff Coulter, Boston University
