Globalization conference: Call for papers; deadline is Nov. 1

Posted on September 20, 2011 by

The union’s Globalization and Corporatization Committee is hosting a conference on “Academic Labor in a Global Economy,” and is urging members to submit papers. The conference is scheduled for April 21-22 at The Desmond in Albany. Paper proposals consisting of title and an abstract of no more than 150 words are due by Nov. 1. Members should include their campus name. “The aim of this conference is to begin rethinking the implications of the globalizing context of knowledge and teaching for academic labor,” said committee Chair Steve Rosow of Oswego. Rosow said the committee is seeking papers on relevant issues, such as global governance of higher education; comparative studies of conditions of academic labor in different countries; intellectual property as it applies to the ownership of work and non-proprietary models of intellectual property; and the shifting boundaries of higher education. Conference participation is open to all SUNY academic and professional faculty who are members of UUP. Submissions should be mailed to Rosow’s attention at UUP, P.O. Box 15143, Albany, NY 12212-5143 or by email to srosow@verizon.net. — Karen L. Mattison
