[Marxism] call for essays on Higher Education

["george snedeker" <snedekerg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The journal Socialism and Democracy is looking for people who would be willing 
to submit short essays  of about 3000 words which deal with any of the 
following areas: 1. the problems related to teaching working class students who 
have quite often been coerced into attending  college and going into debt 
because of the pressures that hyper credentializing of the labor market places 
on them,  2. the new concerns that college teachers face about attacks on 
academic freedom, 3. issues related to the funding of colleges and universities 
because of budget cuts and the push for more privatization of higher education 
and the impact this has had on both teaching and learning or 4. the attempt by 
college administrations and what are usually called "Stake Holders" to gain a 
firmer grip on what takes place in the class room through the push for the use 
of assessment instruments and other bureaucratic means of control .  Other 
related topics will also be accepted. The due date for these essays will be 
Nov. 1 and the ones we select for publication will appear early next year. For 
information about Socialism and Democracy, go to www.sdonline.org

If anyone has an idea for an essay that they would like to run by me , I can be 
reached at snedekerg@xxxxxxxxxxx The purpose of these short essays is to 
encourage debate and critical reflection.
