PDF-[EPUB] - The Gig Academy: Mapping Labor in the Neoliberal University (Reforming Higher

Over the past two decades higher education employment has undergone a radical transformation with faculty becoming contingent staff being outsourced and postdocs and graduate students becoming a larger share of the workforce For example the faculty has shifted from one composed mostly of tenuretrack fulltime employees to one made up of contingent parttime teachers Nontenuretrack instructors now make up 70 percent of college faculty Their pay for teaching eight courses averages 22400 a yearless than the annual salary of most fastfood workersIn The Gig Academy Adrianna Kezar Tom DePaola and Daniel T Scott assess the impact of this disturbing workforce development Providing an overarching framework that takes the concept of the gig economy and applies it to the university workforce this book scrutinizes labor restructuring across both academic and nonacademic spheres By synthesizing these employment trends the book reveals the magnitude of the problem for individual workers across all institutional types and job categories while illustrating the damaging effects of these changes on student outcomes campus community and institutional effectiveness A pointed critique of contemporary neoliberalism the book also includes an analysis of the growing divide between employees and administratorsThe authors conclude by examining the strengthening state of unionization among university workers Advocating a collectivist actionoriented vision for reversing the tide of exploitation Kezar DePaola and Scott urge readers to use the book as a tool to interrogate the state of working relations on their own campuses and fight for a system that is run democratically for the benefit of all Ultimately The Gig Academy is a call to arms one that encourages nontenuretrack faculty staff postdocs graduate students and administrative and tenuretrack allies to unite in a common struggle against the neoliberal Gig Academy. and Innovation in Higher Education.
