  • Résumé

  • Alice Jolly taught at Oxford for 16 years ... until she had the temerity to complain about her pay. Sacked from a job she loved, she took the university to court over her employment rights and won a famous victory. But what are the broader lessons for the world of academia? In this Quiet Riot special, Naomi Smith talks with Alice, an award-winning writer and academic, about a sector that contributes £265billion to the economy yet where a deeply disturbing number of universities are running at a loss. Are neo-liberal managers destroying the heart of Britain's higher education sector by prioritising areas such as property development over teaching? ‘When it is very difficult I remind myself that we are fighting for the future of higher education ... it is the basis of our civilisation’ 'I loved Oxford University and the dream of that world’ ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** Find out more about the University and College Union Find us on Facebook and Twitter as @quietriotpod and on Bluesky.
