Reading Room: #futurelabor when #robots take our jobs


could be worse than the #adjunct kind we have now. An even more recent Pew report, The Future of Jobs, is referenced in Will Oremus' Slate piece, The New Luddites.. The subtitle "What if technological innovation is a job-killer after all?" is straight from PEW. Jonathon Rees has busy setting up and migrating content to More or Less Bunk's new domain, getting ready for the Colorado AAUP Conference meeting in Durango and prepping a class digital history project to chase MOOCs (he'll be back). Somebody's got to pick up the slack on the bot beat, so here goes ~ with more than a little help from Ominvore's robots/jobs post

From the Journal of Evolution and Technology, a special section on technological unemployment and the basic income guarantee, including Riccardo Campa (Jagiellonian): Technological Growth and Unemployment: A Global Scenario Analysis; John Danaher (Keele): Sex Work, Technological Unemployment and the Basic Income Guarantee; and Gary E. Marchant, Yvonne A. Stevens and James M. Hennessy (ASU): Technology, Unemployment and Policy Options: Navigating the Transition to a Better World.

for academic venting & more

Today ~ not an adjunct blog but a wiki, surely kin: http://academicjobs.wikia.com Academic Jobs Wiki. It's a useful job resource, regularly and copiously updated.

Since I don't work on Maggie's Farm no more. my favorite section of is the Venting Page ~ and there you thought "just for academic venting" referred to the comments section at the end of Inside Higher Ed articles. Deal breakers and Universities to fear are pretty good to.

Wiki editors hail from that large pool of candidates desperate not to become adjuncts. Odds are most will join our number. In the meantime, let's hail their efforts and thank them.
