Over the last four decades\, American universities have increasingly shifted their academic labor force toward a pool of part-time and underpaid adjuncts\, g raduate students\, and a whole variety of hybrid non-tenure track faculty. Today\, according to the American Association of University Professors\, nearly 70% of faculty members are non-tenure track – characterized by low wages\, difficult working conditions and negligible job security. Meanwhil e\, universities continue to raise student tuition while spending exorbita nt amounts on administration salaries and building construction. How has t his happened? How do the eroding conditions for academic labor mirror wide r trends in American capitalism toward low-wage job growth and increasing inequality? How have these trends affected Syracuse University? How are te chnological trends and new teaching platforms transforming the conditions of academic labor? What are the prospects for graduate students working to ward a career in academia? What is the future of tenure? Finally\, and mos t importantly\, how have these trends been resisted through adjunct and gr ad student unionization and other forms of labor struggle? How does Syracu se University’s status as a private institution structure the legal enviro nment of such struggles? This workshop and event on academic labor will ex plore such questions and provide a venue at Syracuse for discussion and de bate by all those concerned with the state of academic labor.
