>>Abstracts are sought for "Cogs in the Classroom Factory: The Academic
>>Labor Movement in the 1990s", an interdisciplinary collection of essays
>>focusing on the academic labor movement. This volume will contribute to
>>the small but growing body of literature that explores the phenomenon of
>>academic unionization in the 1990s.  While it will include a section on
>>the history of the unionization movement at the University of Iowa, much
>>of the collection will focus on the cultural and political analysis of
>>the
>>academic labor movement. Planned themes include the "privatization" of
>>the
>>public university, the paradoxes of academic unions, and race and gender
>>issues within the academic labor movement.  Proposals focusing on other
>>themes are also welcome.  Send 500-1000 word abstracts along with a vita
>>and email address to:  Julie Schmid, Department of English, University
>>of
>>Iowa, 308 English-Philosophy Building, Iowa City, IA 52242-1492.  The
>>deadline for abstracts is February 15, 2000.
