Academic Abuse & Power Struggles: A Study of Malcolm Bradbury’s Academic Trilogy

Abstract

In this paper—“Academic Abuse & Power Struggles: A Study of Malcolm Bradbury’s Academic Trilogy”—the issues facing academics and students are mostly discussed along with how they affect their surroundings, their careers, and their behavior; it gives an analytical examination of the Bradbury University trilogy by throwing light on a number of problems, such as: abuse of students, societal and political issues of new academics, how the environment is violated with reference to the symbolism of location and how it differs from 19th century Oxford and Cambridge, and the function of parties, conferences, and how this led to the nakedness and dishonesty of university. This study is both theoretical and practical. It concludes that the future of the British academia is darker due to the government’s cuts and the violation/deconstruction of academic criteria; it also recommends that academics should be highly paid and censored; this in turn helps to develop and reform the educational process, and to help academics devote themselves to scientific research.
