"We are pleased to announce the publication of volume 11 of the AAUP's Journal of Academic Freedom. The journal features scholarship on academic freedom and on its relation to shared governance, tenure, and collective bargaining. This year's volume considers the opposing visions of the governed campus and the "managed campus." As the introduction to the volume argues, "in its extreme manifestation, the managed campus is a graveyard for academic freedom. And when the faculty role in decision-making is undermined, it may well lead to the early graves of faculty, staff, and students forced to return to campus without adequate protections."
The volume’s nine essays and a PowerPoint afterword address a wide range of topics, including broad analyses of managerial practices; discussions of their impact on specific populations such as international, first-generation, and low-income students; and case studies that chronicle past and present work to assert the importance of shared governance and that examine threats to, or blatant disregard for, the faculty role in decision-making. While contributors represent a wide range of academic fields, one noteworthy contributor is an adorable stuffed-bear "brand ambassador." Access the complete volume at https://www.aaup.org/JAF11.
We are also excited to share a new call for papers, “Practices of Academic Freedom in Times of Austerity," for the twelfth volume of the journal, scheduled for publication in fall 2021.
