Earlier this week, I posted on the subject of faculty on food stamps. That seems like an appropriate theme to continue in recognition of the profound failure of economic democracy in America — and higher education’s role in that failure.
So I give you a couple of links to early videos on the theme in my soon-to-be-restarted series. All of the clips are just three or four minutes long. Oh yeah, hurray for higher ed and the USA!
That’s Andy Smith, telling you about his experiences on public assistance. There’s a second part, and a related interview, The Academic Working Poor with Cary Nelson, as well as Michelle Masse’s thoughtful discussion of the intersection of class, gender and the service economy, Ten Million Served.
