This book explores the multifaceted portrayal of academia in higher education in film and television series from around the world. It analyzes how universities, research, teaching staff, and students are represented across cultures and genres, including Hollywood films, Indian comedies, European arthouse films, and Chinese propaganda narratives. Combining perspectives from cultural and media studies, linguistics, and higher education research, the volume investigates how academic communities and life are dramatized, distorted, idealized, or satirized on screen. It examines the intersection of these representations with social issues such as class, race, gender, and power hierarchies. Through intercultural comparison and critical analysis, the book explores which elements of academic life are highlighted or omitted and how these choices shape public perceptions of higher education. Academia on Screen is essential reading for educators, researchers, and students in media and cultural studies interested in how cinematic narratives about academia reflect and shape our understanding of intellectual life in the 21st century.
