Postdoc Identity, Jurisdictional Issues, Ideologies, and Unions
This study of U.S. postdocs and unions analyzes the public discourse of national entities, a national postdoc advocacy group, and of local postdoc unions and their collective bargaining agreements. The analytical focus and findings address: (a) postdocs’ identity as “professors-in-training” or exploited employees; (b) the professional jurisdictional issues and due process rights identified as problematic and on which postdocs’ bargaining is focus…
Taking College Teachers’ Working Conditions Seriously
This study takes college teaching/educational quality seriously by taking teachers’ working conditions seriously. Data consist of contractual provisions about adjunct faculty members’ access to instructional resources and professional development in 254 collective bargaining agreements. The research analyzes the negotiated balance in quality-related working conditions between professional rights and managerial discretion, stratified access to tho…
Stratified University Strategies
Globalizing forces have both transformed the higher education sector and made it increasingly homogenous. Growing similarities among universities have been attributed to isomorphic pressures to ensure and/or enhance legitimacy by imitating higher education institutions that are perceived as successful internationally, particularly universities that are highly ranked globally (Cantwell & Kauppinen, 2014; DiMaggio and Powell, 1983). In this study, …
Bread and Roses, and Quality Too? A New Faculty Majority Negotiating the New Academy
This study of 252 collective bargaining agreements examined language negotiated in “class cancellation fee” provisions addressing “just-in-time” employment of adjunct faculty. The analysis focused on the balance between managerial discretion and professional rights and on whether and how contract language addresses remuneration (bread) and respect (roses) as well as quality, which are at the heart of the contingent faculty labor movement’s mantra…
Creative Leveraging in Contingent Faculty Organizing
Contingent faculty members are marginally situated at the bottom of a highly stratified academic workforce in the academy. Yet they are central to and at the lead of the academic labor movement. What contingent faculty members, groups, and unions lack in formal positions of power is more than made up for by their creative leveraging of the not inconsiderable resources and positions of influence available to this precarious professoriate (or profe…
The Higher Education We Choose, Collectively
Reviewing three key areas of literature in our field (college choice, state policy, and faculty) the article identifies gaps that we can fill by reembodying and repoliticizing “choice,” by which is meant moving beyond the individualized and “neutral” market logic in addressing the actions of collective entities in relation to politically charged policy issues, which we largely overlook. In calling our field to focus more on the “the higher educat…

A Critical Agency Network Model for Building an Integrated Outreach Program
This study considers a distinct case of a college outreach program that integrates student affairs staff, academic administrators, and faculty across campus. The authors find that social networks and critical agency help to understand the integration of these various professionals and offer a critical agency network model of enacting change
Socially Oriented Student Entrepreneurship
This paper presents two clarifying cases of socially oriented student entrepreneurship. The findings illuminate an overlooked organizational space located at the intersection of the public good and academic capitalist knowledge/learning regimes (Slaughter & Rhoades, 2004) that provides students with the entrepreneurial agency to create social change

Graduate Employee Unionization as Symbol of and Challenge to the Corporatization of U.S. Research Universities
The authors explore criticism of the corporatization of the academy as offered by graduate employee organizers. They suggest that graduate employee unionization may serve as both a symbol of and a challenge to corporatization. Methodologically, the authors draw from qualitative case studies conducted at graduate employee unions located at three public universities and one private university

From "Endless Frontier" to "Basic Science for Use
This article analyzes the National Science Study produced by the Republican-dominated U.S. Congress in the mid-1990s to see if the priorities of S&T policy were changing, if state agencies were being reorganized to achieve new priorities, and if universities were expected to work closely with industry in reconfigured agencies. Also analyzed was the economic composition of board members of eight S&T policy organizations that informed the National …

Reorganizing the Faculty Workforce for Flexibility
Part-time Professional Labor In the United States the rise of the profession in the last quarter of the nineteenth century was marked by the establishment of faculty as full-time employees of colleges and universities with career tracks in their fields [18, 32]. Subsequently the profession struggled to establish autonomy vis-a-vis managers and boards, as the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) successfully inscribed tenure and fr…

The Emergence of a Competitiveness Research and Development Policy Coalition and the Commercialization of Academic Science and Technology
This article describes the emerging bipartisan political coalition supporting commercial competitiveness as a rationale for research and development (R&D), points to selected changes in legal and funding structures in the 1980s that stem from the success of the new political coalition and suggests some of the connections between these changes and academic science and technology, and examines the consequences of these changes for universities.

Elixir of Empire
Calling on the past
This article is not a policy analysis of recent reports on undergraduate education, at least not in the sense of addressing the implementation of the reports' proposals or of constructing a viable program of reform. It is instead a social analysis of the discourse concerning undergraduate education [26]. The reports are utilized as a vehicle for examining beliefs that inform the reform debate conceptions of which educational practices are desirab…

Toward a Micro Corrective of Structural Differentiation Theory
This article argues that the synthetic turn in recent discussions of the micro-macro problem provide a basis for critically assessing structural differentiation theory. That theory suffers from a macro bias, which is reflected in its inability to account for variable patterns of structural change, its neglect of how coalition formation and group negotiation and conflict affect the course of differentiation, and its constricted conception of the c…
Higher Education in a Consumer Society
American higher education is consumer oriented. Observers characterize the system as student demand or market driven, in contrast to its Western European counterparts. Governments throughout Western Europe encourage their universities to emulate American universities' links to and compatible relationship with the private consumer and labor markets. In recent years American scholars have decried increased state and federal government intrusion int…

Conflicting Interests in Higher Education
Five major interests at stake in higher education systems are considered: social justice, competence, academic freedom, autonomy/accountability, and decentralization/centralization. The process by which these are implemented in the United States, England, Sweden, and France is examined and is related to the higher education system's receptiveness to functional differentiation, which can be generated by shifting interpretations of the five interes…

Role Performance and Person Perception
This paper examines and critiques the manner in which one strand of attribution theory has addressed the relationship between role performances and person perception. An interactionist approach is formulated as an alternative, and an experiment is designed to test its viability. The experiment supports our hypothesis that the informational value of 'in-role' performances is similar to the informational value of 'out-of-role' performances, and tha…

Folk Norms and School Reform
Turner's (1960) sponsored and contest mobility framework has been much utilized in analyzing mobility in England and the United States. This paper focuses on Turner's more central concern with how folk norms influence educational practices and the efforts to reform them. To test Turner's proposition that reformers and reform debates are bound by the logic of folk norms, I investigated efforts to reform the General Certificate of Education examina…
