13. See, for example, the winter, 1996 edition of Social
Text, devoted to academic labor. A number of the essays in that edition
discussed the right of graduate students at Yale to unionize. Cary Nelson's
1997 anthology, Will Teach for Food: Academic Labor in Crisis, was an
expanded version of this Social Text edition. Elitist notions of
academic labor are sharply attacked in two other books by Nelson:
Manifesto of a Tenured Radical and The Devil's Dictionary
(co-authored with Stephen Myers Watt). Numerous conferences and symposia
have added to the discussion, including two at NYU: "Between Classes," held
in the fall of 1996, and "Intellectual Activism," held in the spring of
1999.
