The Red Cross is studied and criticized. The Royal Family is studied and criticized. Churches and hospitals are studied and criticized. Canadian universities are seldom studied and criticized and are worse off for this neglect. This book seeks to repair this damage by casting a critical eye on how Canadian universities work - or fail to work. Arguing that too much emphasis is placed on absurdly specialized research and too little on teaching, No Place to Learn contends that students seeking higher education in Canada are drastically short-changed. In clear, non-technical language, the book explains the current structure of the Canadian university and outlines several practical reforms that, if implemented, would greatly improve it. If you’ve never known what deans do, what tenure is, and what professors do when they’re not teaching, No Place to Learn is a must-read: an eye-opening introduction that raises serious questions about the state of higher education in this country. No Place to Learn adds thought-provoking fuel to the incendiary debate about the role of the Canadian university today and in the future.
