Abstract
How can tenure-track allies to adjunct workers contribute in our new era of anti-tenure attacks and surging labor activism? Two of the founders of Tenure for the Common Good find guidance in Elizabeth Gaskell's representations of class relations. Gaskell reveals the pervasive entrapment of exploitative systems and suggests ways that privileged participants can serve as intermediaries, amplifying the voices of those who need to be heard. Drawing on servant relations in Cranford and laborer relations in the North and South, we find warrant for a new visibility in the fight against adjunctification.
在我们这个反终身教职攻击和劳工激进主义汹涌澎湃的新时代,终身教职盟友如何才能为兼职工作者做出贡献?Tenure for the Common Good 的两位创始人从伊丽莎白-加斯凯尔(Elizabeth Gaskell)对阶级关系的描述中找到了指导。盖斯凯尔揭示了剥削制度无处不在的禁锢,并提出了特权参与者可以充当中间人,放大那些需要被倾听的人的声音的方法。从《克兰福德》中的仆人关系和南北方的劳工关系中,我们发现了在反对附庸化的斗争中新的可见性。
