SUMMARY:Breaking the Chains of Debt and Contingent Labor
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us on July 31 as we host a deep dive discussion into two
  related crises facing higher ed workers and students alike: debt and labo
 r contingency. Often presented as both institutionally inevitable and as i
 ndividually shameful\, spiraling debt and rising labor precarity are in fa
 ct insidious products of policy decisions\, and together they are eroding 
 the conditions that make genuine higher education possible. Yet these wide
 ly shared and intersecting chains of debt and labor contingency also have 
 the potential to bring us together: as faculty\, students\, and workers\, 
 in new ways.\n\n\n\nHow can we grasp the systems of debt and labor precari
 ty that bind today’s academy in a way that can allow us to unleash poten
 tial for liberatory education\, in the classroom and beyond? And how can o
 ur unions and pedagogical strategies help create alliances between student
 s\, faculty\, and other campus workers—not by shamefully avoiding talk o
 f our “delinquent” debt or “adjunct” status\, but by placing them 
 front and center?”\n\n\n\nSpeakers: Joe Ramsey\, Chair of Contingency Ta
 sk Force\, Higher Education Labor United and Faculty at UMASS\, Boston\; J
 eri O'Bryan-Losee\, United University Professions (SUNY)\n\n\n\nFacilitate
 d by Jason Wozniak\, Debt Collective\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watc
