A Crisis of the Professoriate?
摘要
For decades, scholars have been reporting on the crises in the professoriate, bemoaning how neoliberalism has brought about their deagentification, through inter alia, deprofessionalization, disaffection, hypermetricization, and structural inequity. The problems are real, but the widely circulating glosses of the neoliberal university have both flattened the variation of these problems as well as diminished pursuing tactics to ameliorate their effects. In the following vignettes, faculty across multiple national contexts, ranks, disciplines, genders, and racial identities, redress these concerns. Together, these vignettes detail the embodied challenges faculty face as well as reclaim a sense of productive possibility in redirecting how faculty may lead the charge to shape the professoriate today.
