Overview

This title examines two cases of academic mobbing, with an introduction explaining the background, context, and significance of the incidents.In complementary essays on academic mobbing, two linguistics professors convey the reality of this terrifying social process. Joan Friedenberg sketches an archetypal case and provides a detailed, critical summary of research since the term mobbing was introduced to American readers in the late 1990s. Then, in an essay found on his computer after his death in 2006, Hector Hammerly writes his last scholarly testament: an account of how his long successful career at Simon Fraser University culminated in arrest and imprisonment, media depiction as a prospective mass murderer, and ouster from the faculty.
