For a future project, I'm interested in narratives of undergraduate labor--low-wage work-study positions, unpaid internships, and service learning. I'm also interested in the ways that student activities contribute value to the campus--such as athletics, and the creation of consumable content in weblogs, faculty evaluation, or school newspapers.These can be a form of un- or under- compensated labor as well.

The two chapters of How The University Works (NYU, 2008) most frequently assigned to undergraduates are available as free downloads, Ch 1: Your Problem is My Problem (pdf) and Ch 4: Extreme Work Study (pdf).

Also see especially Higher Exploitation, an extended interview with me in minnesota review, as well as my credo in that issue, We Work. For more scholarly publications, please see my curriculum vitae.
