DESCRIPTION:A day-long symposium organized by the Labor Studies Group of PA
RCC and the Future Professoriate ProgramOver the last four decades\, Ameri
can universities have increasingly shifted their academic labor force towa
rd a pool of part-time and underpaid adjuncts\, graduate students\, and a
whole variety of hybrid non-tenure track faculty. Today\, according to the
American Association of University Professors\, nearly 70% of faculty mem
bers are non-tenure track – characterized by low wages\, difficult working
conditions and negligible job security. Meanwhile\, universities continue
to raise student tuition while spending exorbitant amounts on administrat
ion salaries and building construction. How has this happened? How do the
eroding conditions for academic labor mirror wider trends in American capi
talism toward low-wage job growth and increasing inequality? How have thes
e trends affected Syracuse University? How are technological trends and ne
w teaching platforms transforming the conditions of academic labor? What a
re the prospects for graduate students working toward a career in academia
? What is the future of tenure? Finally\, and most importantly\, how have
these trends been resisted through adjunct and grad student unionization a
nd other forms of labor struggle? How does Syracuse University’s status as
a private institution structure the legal environment of such struggles?
This workshop and event on academic labor will explore such questions and
provide a venue at Syracuse for discussion and debate by all those concern
ed with the state of academic labor. SCHEDULE \;COFFEE &\; OPENING

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.
