• Summary:"Essential Workers, Exploited Labor highlights the expertise and experiences of graduate students to demonstrate what graduate study entails, what it makes possible, and what it constrains. Moving between full-length research articles and short personal essays, the collection illustrates graduate students' experiences, organizing tactics, and strategies for staying in or moving out of the academy. The contributors illustrate the significant expertise that graduate students are asked to enact in their jobs as teachers, researchers, and administrators, even as they are kept in poverty wages for the decade or so it takes to move through a master's and doctoral program into the promised land of a tenure-track job. At the same time, these essays draw connections between the labor conditions of graduate student workers and other workers navigating poverty wages, labor migration, limited benefits, and harassment and discrimination around lines of race, gender, ability, and citizenship-the most important connection perhaps being the possibility for organization and unionization to fight for better working conditions for all"-- Provided by publisher.
