Readings for Weds Week 2

So here are the readings for this week. I managed to find some of the Rachel Zolf excerpts (from the book Human Resources) online. So if you did not get that handout, hit on the links for Zolf below. As for the Durback (the other handout), I’m still waiting to get the scanned excerpt of her book Zine Chapbook. I’ll forward it soon.
Meantime, all readings to have done for Weds are below. If you DID get the Zolf handout in class, ignore the Zolf links below, but DO hit the other link, the Osman essay.

Last, I’ve included here, in celebration and solidarity with the week of fair budget actions, links related to the corporatization of academia, academic labor.  THESE READINGS/RESOURCES ARE OPTIONAL. Simply recommended readings/links, if you have the time and have the interest. We’ll cover education / pedagogy in relation to reclaiming public space during a different week as part of the syllabus-proper, so again, these are links not for class this week, but to contextualize and historicize the labor-education relation playing out now as part of budget slashing/legislative moves to curb forming unions in the public sector– and ensuing rallying responses (here but of course in the midwest and elsewhere as well).
See you all Weds. Enjoy reading. Enjoy writing from the prompt in the earlier email, writing not due till Saturday.
In Solidarity,
david
Readings for Wednesday (in addition to the poems handed out that I will send when I get the scans. Remember, if you did get the Zolf handout, ignore the Zolf links below)

Optional Solidarity Readings (a couple of these we’ll cover formally as part of class later, looking also at student-faculty-staff coalitions by way of organizing and labor)
