The Detenuring of an Eminent Professor: A Personal Story - Tapa dura

"[This work] is in the same class as Philip Roth's The Human Stain, Richard Russo's Straight Man, Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim, and Francine Prose's Blue Angel - funny, gruesome, well-told tales of academic grievance. The difference is that this excruciating tale is true." - Prof. Kenneth Westhues University of Waterloo "In this essay, I have attempted to escort you through a mobbing to its terrible consequences, describe common characteristics of mobbings, discuss how interdisciplinary treatments of mobbing can help us understand more about the phenomenon, provide for creative outlets for mobbing victims and, hopefully, raise awareness enough to reduce its incidence, and to share some current problems in researching and addressing it." - Prof. Joan Friedenberg Florida Atlantic University"

Examines workplace mobbing in the context of higher education.
