Unassailable Ideas
In Unassailable Ideas: How Unwritten Rules and Social Media Shape Discourse
in American Higher Education (Oxford University Press), Ilana and co-author
John Villasenor describe and analyze the current state of discourse in
academia and beyond.
Redstone and Villasenor explain that nearly all of the challenges they identify
can be traced to a particular way of seeing the world that dominates in
American higher education. They describe the contours of this worldview and
how it directly and indirectly shapes the academic endeavor.
