Mortar Boarding: Reaching Zero Degrees
[P-MORTARB]
by Geoffrey Wheen
ISBN: 978-1-60047-464-4
Paperback (6x9): 240 pgs.
No profile of an ideal PhD student would resemble the author. But he was never conventional. He also knew that regardless of age and custom handicaps were there to be overcome, challenges confronted and opportunities to be grasped. So he did what he always did, and had a go. Many, actually. Numerous rejections later, he was enrolled for a PhD in Criminology, researching fraud in real estate. Emerging from the fruits of his labors came not an academic thesis but his first book, Ill A Fraud. Now this, his second, book revisits his odd and sometimes disturbing encounters with various Universities located in England, New Zealand and Australia. What emerges from this account of his experiences in academe offers little comfort to those who seek reassurance about how Universities are run, supervised and managed at all levels. Are those the author came across the exception, or the unsettling rule?
