The digitalization of universities has brought about a significant transformation in the way research and teaching are conducted. While this shift has brought about many benefits, it has also led to the precarization of academic labor. Academic workers are increasingly finding themselves in temporary and casual positions, with limited job security and benefits. This book aims to provide a critical analysis of academic labor and its implications for universities.
The book will explore the various factors that contribute to the precarization of academic labor, including the increasing reliance on adjunct faculty, the decline in tenure-track positions, and the commodification of education. It will also examine the experiences of academic workers at universities that are shaped by economic, political, and cultural contexts.
The book will be valuable for international scholars and students of subjects such as media, communication, and cultural studies, sociology, education, management, and labor studies. The insights gained from this book will also be of particular relevance for unions and other initiatives that are concerned about the working conditions at universities.
In conclusion, the digitalization of universities has created a new landscape for academic labor, one that is characterized by precarization and uncertainty. This book aims to provide a critical analysis of this phenomenon and to offer insights into the experiences of academic workers at universities that are shaped by economic, political, and cultural contexts.
