Article Abstract:

Academics in the United Kingdom are urged to continue the proud heritage of dissent that has helped define the core principles of tolerance, diversity, pluralism and civic consciousness that shape public life in the UK today. It is argued that the rise of managerial populism in the UK has eroded much of what was distinctive about public culture, sinking it into dull conformism and compliance, and that if public life is to be rebuilt into a vibrant form, then academics need to do their bit and recapture the spirit of their dissident heritage.
