In this essay, I want to explore what can be called the informatics of U.S. higher education—the managerial logic through which university administrators have transformed the academic workplace on the model of information, so that education (and the labor providing it) is increasingly “delivered” as data, flowing in a bitstream highly responsive to managerial direction.

This paper addresses impacts of neoliberalism on work and life in the post-secondary academy from the perspective of a junior scholar. Although it is not a full-fledged autoethnography, I borrow from that methodological approach to reflect analytically on personal experiences since taking up my first academic position, at a Canadian university. I am especially attuned to how neoliberalism is affecting my learning and working conditions and the practices that I encounter in the academy. Although I recognize the particularity of my experiences of neoliberalism, because of both my personal background and situation and the sociocultural context in which I live and work, I see neoliberalism as an overarching ideology which increasingly frames academic life globally. My experiences and reflections on them, then, might offer insights into what life and work in the neoliberal academy looks and feels like for novice academics.

This article examines the anti-union discourse that is prevalent within Teach For America (TFA) and explores how the experiences and insights of TFA outsiders to urban schools and communities become central in how discussions on urban education are framed. Not only are urban teachers and their unions seen as unknowledgeable and unable to comment on their experiences in urban schools (while TFAers have the monopoly on knowing "what's best for kids"), but teacher unions are actually blamed for the problems of urban schools and seen as the main obstacle to doing "what's best for kids." This article analyzes how TFA corps members and touted TFA alum, Michelle Rhee are able to corral the anti-union sentiment that is always lurking within an individualistic society, and which seems especially conspicuous within this neoliberal moment.

This paper is part Marxology, in remembrance of that volcanic eruption of Marx’s carbuncle-inducing mental labor that resulted in the Notebooks we now know as the Grundrisse or the Foundations of a Critique of Political Economy (Rough Draft), and part contemporary conceptual history of the anti-capitalist movement’s increasing “techno-skepticism.” By “techno-skepticism” I mean a political attitude that questions the centrality of technological change in the struggle against capitalism. I will trace some parallels between Marx’s thought from 1857 until 1882 and the succession of some themes in the anti-capitalist movement (with special reference to the US) between the 1960s and the present.
