Author of How the University Works, Bousquet has long been concerned with academic labor issues, and how graduate student and adjunct labor fits into the larger picture of academia--which in recent decades has been characterized by diminished funding, eroding tenure, overworked instructors and spiking tuitions. Professor Bousquet's visit will include the following events:
Wed., Oct. 28, 2009, 3:30-5:00 p.m.
Marc Bousquet, English, Santa Clara University
"How the University Works" - Marc Bousquet, English, Santa Clara University
Hall Center Conference Hall
Thu., Oct. 29, 2009, 10:00-11:30 a.m.
Marc Bousquet, English, Santa Clara University
"Open Discussion: The Tenure System, Adjunct, and Graduate Labor"
Hall Center Conference Hall
Both events should be excellent, and we strongly encourage all GTAs to attend!
