AAA business meeting resolution on part-time academic labor

[Lavanya Murali Proctor]

Hi all,

I posted this as a comment to the Savage Minds blog, but I thought I'd 
mention it in this thread as well. The Committee on Labor Relations is 
also sponsoring a workshop on contingent faculty, "The AAA and Labor 
Issues: Initiatives, Goals and Dialogue." There will be time set aside 
for audience contributions. It is on Thursday, November 21, from 
12:15-1:30 in the Waldorf Room at the Chicago Hilton.

Here's the event description:
"The Committee on Labor Relations invites you to join anthropologists 
active in contingent faculty struggles, labor committee members who will 
report on their newly expanding charge, graduate students concerned 
about the academic job situation, and others interested in developing a 
stronger labor agenda within the AAA."

I'd also like to mention that the CLR's concern, as I understand it, is 
with contingent faculty broadly defined, including part-time/adjuncts, 
full time non-TT, grad assistants, and postdocs.

Best,
Lavanya
