The New Labor Forum at City University of New York has an interview with me posted on its website. It is mostly the raw responses to questions, from what I could tell, but it offers a good overview of my thoughts on our spring faculty strike at Rutgers. Here is a brief excerpt:
The reason we were successful at Rutgers was because we broke down the barriers that exist: we marched on the picket line together as grad students, adjuncts, and full-timers. One day I was on the picket line with my department chair. That is an example of what we need. Each class of faculty may have slightly different issues, and students have slightly different concerns as well. The larger concern is: How do we make the schools in which we teach and which students attend fulfill a mission of education, research, and equity? We can only do that effectively if we break down barriers, talk to each other, and start organizing together.
