world of the ivory tower? Or can one deny the relevance of that adjunct’s working conditions because they are not working in one’s particular institution or department (yet)? This perspective reminds me of the situation in which those who want to address issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia in the arts, or the academy, or any number of other settings are accused of wanting to “politicize” things that were somehow beautiful and pure and blessedly unworldly. This kind of argument might be out of favor at the moment, as individuals and organizations are forced to confront one of the many truths that the Me Too Movement and Black Lives Matter have put in front of us, that the “neutral” position is one of the most politically-charged of all. But it will return, and it will find new places to deploy itself. A particular feature of this last perspective is a preservationism based on the image of a past in which the academy was a highly functional community of scholars. There are others who, while believing that there is little or nothing left of this past to preserve, nevertheless see a return to it as the ideal towards which our reformist work should be directed. But those who would live in Xanadu always imagine themselves the Khan, never a servant. I hope it is no longer controversial to point out the general idea that the “good old days” were good for very few. Even if there are aspects of how colleges and universities used to function that we would like to recapture, a naive regress, even if it were possible, would get us nowhere near where we need to be. We need a way forward that minimizes the harm done by our individual inabilities to see much beyond our own interests. To me, a promising direction is pointed to by broadly collective organizations like the UChicago Labor Council, which brings together officers, stewards, and members of various university and university-related labor unions, academic and nonacademic alike, as well as other solidary groups, including student and community organizations. The aims of the council include mutual support, knowledge-sharing, the coordination of efforts, and visibility. Particularly important is its underlying premise that there is common cause between workers of various kinds at the university and beyond, as well as those affected by its policies. I would also like to highlight the case of Rutgers University, as outlined by Todd Wolfson, president of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT Executive Council, in his recent interview [24] with Astra Taylor, where he describes an expansive and ambitious kind of coalition-building, and an organizing framework known as Bargaining for the Common Good [26]. I am very glad that this interview was published before I had completed revisions to this essay, so that I could cite it and note that Wolfson discusses many of the issues I’ve touched on here, with the concrete details of a particular multi-campus institution’s realities, making a compelling case for a br
