Academic union voice and the transformations in/of higher education

Timothy Reese Cain

Chapter 8 in Research Handbook on the Transformation of Higher Education, 2023, pp 112-126 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Academic unions are central to the transformations in and of higher education. They are simultaneously targets of efforts to reshape higher education for flexibility and managerial control, outlets through which faculty and other education workers can pushback against them, and sources of transformation on their own. This chapter provides a broad view of how academic unions differ in different contexts, considers union voice and how it applies to higher education, and addresses the ways in which academic unions are interacting with the ongoing transformations of higher education in multiple contexts.
