Updated January 13, 2008:
On January 11, we gave a presentation at McMaster University titled Ivory Tower Blues: Confronting the Critics. It was covered by the Hamilton Spectator in two articles, the first announcing the talk and second reporting on it.
Most of the major media outlets in Canada have responded enthusiastically to Ivory Tower Blues, as the links on our welcome page show. In addition, mention of the book continues, as with the CBC’s interest in student disengagement, and MacLean’s coverage of job prospects. The book has also been covered by the Orangeville Citizen, Carlton University’s student newspaper The Charlatan, Milton Ontario’s Canadian Champion, Canadian Business, and The Ottawa Citizen.
CBC’s Rex Murphy has an especially astute and articulate summary of the book and the circumstances confronting contemporary universitiies.
