Synopsis

This book explores popular media depictions of higher education from an American perspective. Each chapter in this book investigates the portrait of higher education in an exciting array of media - including novels, television, film, comic books and video games - revealing the ways anti-intelelctualism manifests through time. The authors provide incisive commentary on the role of the university as well as the life of students, faculty, and staff in fictional college campuses.
