The Faculty
John Dale
Sarah Dixon is 31-year-old casual academic who is finally achieving her dreams of a placement at a prestigious university
even if it is only a short term contract.
Like many before her, Sarah pictured a scholarly place where she could teach, write and read surrounded by intellectual colleagues. Instead, she has joined a faculty in free fall, its staff fighting tooth and nail to keep their jobs and an administration determined to innovate no matter what the cost.
The Faculty mixes black humour with the personal journey of a bold and independent young woman making her way in the modern university workplace.
