I had a number of conversations on precarity at the Canadian Historical Association's annual meeting this week and heard a truly excellent presidential address from Steven High that dealt with the crisis head on. Have a look at the CHA's report (by High) that includes links to resources that can guide departments in our work to push back against precarity in #academia or at least to attenuate its worst effects. #HigherEd #CdnPSE #histodons #AcademicChatter @histodons

So many of the problems in #cdnpse—the constant churn of terrible presidential hires, the apparent incompetence around basic budgeting, etc.—come in large part from Boards and Admins refusing to support and rely on the expertise on their own campuses. 🧵 of obviousness to follow.

5/ Quite simply, intellectual property rights are a corner stone of our university system. These rights must extend to all faculty regardless of their employment relationship. To cede our intellectual property rights is to ultimately cede our academic freedom and to abandon the very idea of the classic university.
