Summary: 'Beyond the often amusing accounts of interactions with difficult people, there are also numerous moments where the author offers a glimpse into what reads as more systemic issues such as grade inflation and student cheating, the struggle for research time, casual instances of prejudice that appear to go unchecked, and a particularly poignant account of advising a disabled student who is struggling to get support... an engaging read.' Debbie McVitty, Editor, WONKHE 'The Secret Lecturer conveys a dry, ironic and often self-deprecating humor and considerable humanity, particularly through consideration of mental health, sexism and racism. There's a real feeling that we ordinary folk are all in this together and if we support one another in subverting the ineffective status quo within institutions, not just HE, we can, and will, make a difference
