Rhetoric and Resistance in the Corporate Academy analyzes the
political and legal struggles between labor movements and school
administrators over the rise of part-time and temporary jobs in
higher education. Focusing particular attention on the labor of
writing instruction, Carter finds among literacy workers both a
deeply exploited segment of the campus population and a vector of
resistance to the hegemony of flexible hiring. Contrary to visions
of ivory tower seclusion, he traces continuities between teachers'
and students' experiences as corporate employees, contending that
their frequently insecure positions, inadequate working conditions,
minimal benefits, and marginalized voices constitute grounds for
political alliance. Carter then outlines a labor theory of agency
that entails long-range collaboration among tenure-line faculty,
part-time and non-tenure-track teachers, and student social
movements, listening always for harmonies as well as dissonances
among their modes of argument.
