Rezensionen

"The present-day university has become a hot topic in several sociology, anthropology and philosophy subfields. Filip Vostal's debut monograph on the institutional transformations and subjective experiences of (social) scientists at universities is a welcome addition to the burgeoning interdisciplinary area of critical studies of science, higher education and academia." (Milena Kremakova, International Studies in the Philosophy of Science, Vol. 31 (2), March, 2018)

"I recommend Vostal's book highly. He gives us considered, inquiring reflections across a broad literature on neoliberalism and speed at universities, and is critical, fair and constructive. The empirical research is limited by the range of interviewees, but provides revealing information that brings a fuller picture and is the foundation for further research that is more inclusive. Vostal's work is a basis for pursuing solutions and alternatives." (Luke Martell, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, August, 2017)
