I stand in solidarity with the 9,000 @ruaaup faculty and graduate student workers on strike at Rutgers University. These workers deserve a good contract with fair pay and benefits NOW.
Good Morning @RutgersU! Its day 284 w/o a contract but it is also DAY ONE ON STRIKE! We are moved & motivated by the huge show of action & support from members, students, coworkers and partners in the community. TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG & WE WILL WIN a #FairContractNow! #RUOnSTRIKE

For the first time in the history of Rutgers University, all three faculty, grad, EOF, and postdoc unions have voted to go on strike. Monday morning, we are ON STRIKE. See you on the picket line. #RUOnStrike

There are many candidates running for @maut_apbm, but some of them stand out in their commitment to more robust faculty governance and stronger ties with support staff, lecturers, and students: Sandra HYDE for President Elect, and Barry @eidlin and Yves @whywinter for Council.
I'm running for @maut_apbm council to defend faculty autonomy & shared governance, & strengthen ties with the unions of workers who make McGill work, incl. support staff, lecturers, & student employees. If you're an MAUT member I ask for your support!

I know academics love to complain about graduate admissions, but I’m in the middle of reading 150 PhD applications and am so impressed by the quality of the work and the timeliness of so many of the projects.
“…if we just focus on this generation’s political style — and … youth style always aggravates the elders — we ignore their rage at the world they’ve inherited, and their desperation for a more livable and just one…” nytimes.com/interactive/2022…
I spent my morning reading an original, first edition of Diderot’s Encyclopedia. How is your day going?
Fresh off the press: Gabriele Pedullà’s masterful and gorgeous new edition of The Prince, weighing in at 460pp. and destined to become the scholarly reference edition when it comes out later this month or next. #Machiavelli
The Mackenzie Fierceton saga lays bare the rot at the heart of the corporate university. But buried here, there is also a story about two ways of doing political theory. I’m humbled by the example of @annenortonnow. As for Amy Gutman, well, let’s say I continue to be unimpressed.

Has anyone paid attention to all the doodles on the margins of the manuscripts of the German Ideology?
