«La burbuja universitaria: ¿Hay que perseguir el sueño americano?» is the critical essay by Libero Zuppiroli (Dykinson, paperback, 192 pages, in Spanish).
Libero Zuppiroli criticises the drift of today's university: faculty devoted to fundraising and management, science turned into spectacle, and applied research with no real use. He asks whether bureaucracy has killed imagination and intellectual freedom, and proposes an imaginary university, Utopia, inspired by Thomas More.
First edition 2012. Translated from the Italian by Bruno Aguilera Barchet. Libero Zuppiroli holds a PhD in Physics and is a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.
Of interest to teachers, students and readers who want to reflect on the role and future of the university.
